Residents had no advance notice that a major capital expenditure would be decided. The item appeared only as an invasive species monitoring report. Similar off-agenda updates covered hydro dam FERC failures and new staff hires. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/selectboard/2026-06-15/

Longer-form draft.

At the June 15 Selectboard meeting in Sunapee, the published agenda described the George's Mills Boat Launch item as an update on invasive species monitoring. Instead, the board reviewed bids and approved a $65,000 contract with United for erosion control and plantings, funded from boat launch capital reserves. Work is set to begin within two weeks.

The same meeting included reports on repeated FERC inspection failures at the hydro dam and several personnel changes, none of which appeared on the agenda. A resident also raised privacy and environmental concerns about Flock surveillance cameras; the board noted existing cameras and zoning authority but offered no further steps.

All recorded motions passed unanimously. Official minutes have not yet been posted. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/selectboard/2026-06-15/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
