Residents at the meeting suggested reconsidering the role entirely or conducting historical reviews of past administrators to avoid mistakes. The Board provided only partial answers, stating they have not yet determined how the public will be engaged in the process.

This isn't the only major issue. The Highway Garage repairs involve a $130,000 price gap between insulation options. Officials warned that cheaper 'retrofit' options might not fully remove carcinogens or odors. The Board must balance fiscal responsibility with public health.

Between the lack of a public engagement plan for new leadership and significant budget variances for repairs, Warner residents deserve a clear, evidence-based roadmap for how these decisions are being made. #WarnerNH #Accountability https://meetingwatch.org/nh/warner/select-board/2026-05-12/

Longer-form draft.

At the May 12 Select Board meeting, significant tension arose between residents and the Board regarding the future management of Warner. 

Community members raised serious questions about the upcoming Town Administrator hiring process. Rather than addressing suggestions to potentially eliminate the role or implementing a structured way for residents to provide input, the Board moved forward without a defined plan for public engagement. This lack of clarity leaves residents wondering how much influence they will actually have in shaping the town's leadership structure.

On the fiscal front, the Highway Garage repairs present a massive decision for taxpayers. There is a $130,000 difference between the available insulation repair options. Crucially, officials noted that the cheaper retrofit option carries risks, as it cannot guarantee the removal of odors and carcinogens. As the Board evaluates these costs, they must weigh the immediate impact on the budget against long-term health and safety concerns.

We will continue to monitor these developments to ensure the Board prioritizes transparent communication and evidence-based decision-making. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/warner/select-board/2026-05-12/ #MeetingWatch #WarnerNH
