X thread
The June 30 Sunapee Selectboard meeting went much deeper than the public agenda suggested. What was listed as a 'Mission & Vision' workshop turned into a series of unannounced policy discussions on topics that affect every taxpayer in town. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
Instead of just drafting a mission statement, the board held substantive discussions on: • Zoning changes for high-density housing • Aging water/sewer infrastructure • Professionalizing EMS/Fire services • Hiring consultants to restructure town staffing
Because these high-impact topics—like housing density and emergency service models—were not explicitly listed on the agenda, residents had no prior notice to prepare or attend specifically to voice their concerns. This is a transparency failure.
When the board discusses the future of our infrastructure, public safety, and zoning, the community deserves to know in advance so we can participate in the decisions that shape Sunapee. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/selectboard/2026-06-30/
Transparency matters. At the June 30 Selectboard meeting, the agenda listed a 'Mission and Vision Workshop.' However, the meeting quickly evolved into a series of deep, substantive discussions on major town policies that were not on the public agenda. While the board's intent was strategic planning, residents were not given prior notice that the board would be debating high-stakes issues like shifting from volunteer to professional emergency services, changing zoning to allow high-density housing, and hiring consultants to reorganize town staffing. These are not just 'vision' topics; they are significant policy shifts that will impact Sunapee’s tax base, infrastructure, and public safety models. When the board discusses these matters, the public should be notified in advance so that residents can prepare their questions and participate in the conversation. We deserve more than a seat at the table after the direction has already been set. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/selectboard/2026-06-30/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
