Longer-form draft.
At the June 9 Select Board meeting, member Mike Smith abstained on the consent agenda and voted against the June 9 manifest because he received materials too late for proper review. Alfred Hanson and Rick Bixby approved both items. The same notice problem surfaced on the raffle permit request. Smith also raised the Town Administrator position, which has remained vacant for a year despite voter approval to fill it. No timeline was set for posting the job. The board voted 2-1 to enter non-public session on hiring, with Smith dissenting. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/warner/select-board/2026-06-09/ #MeetingWatch #WarnerNH
