The April 14 Select Board meeting in Warner was marked by high tension and several decisions that will shape the town's future. Most notably, the Board voted not to reinstate Kathy Frenette as Town Administrator, a decision that follows significant public debate regarding her employment and the Board's handling of the matter. During public comment, the atmosphere grew even more contentious when a resident, John Leavitt, alleged that Board Chair Alfred Hanson should have recused himself from votes involving Ms. Frenette due to a prior restraining order. The Board did not provide a recorded response to this allegation of a conflict of interest, raising questions about the impartiality of the decision-making process. Other significant topics included resident frustrations regarding the North Road encampment on town-owned property—with calls for a welfare officer to manage sanitation and safety—and discussions regarding the potential impact of inter-town ambulance service costs with Hopkinton and Webster. As these issues move forward, residents should continue to monitor how the Board balances legal constraints with community needs. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/warner/select-board/2026-04-14/ #MeetingWatch #WarnerNH
