Is the Warner Select Board following state law? At the June 23 meeting, residents challenged the legality of board members attending via Zoom, arguing the board is failing to meet the requirements of RSA 91-A:2:III. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #WarnerNH
The issue isn't just about convenience. Residents pointed out that members must provide a rationale for not attending in person. There was also public criticism that attending via a 'blank Zoom screen' is disrespectful to the office.
Meanwhile, the Concord Lake Sunapee Rail Trail projects continue to move forward. Despite resident concerns about property owner notification, noise, and trash, the Board has not committed to increased oversight of the project group. #WarnerNH #LocalGov https://meetingwatch.org/nh/warner/select-board/2026-06-23/
During the June 23 Select Board meeting, two significant issues surfaced regarding how our town is governed and how major projects are managed. First, a question of legality: Residents challenged the board's use of Zoom attendance, citing RSA 91-A:2:III. The law requires members to provide a specific rationale for not attending in person. While Chairman Hanson acknowledged the need to follow the law and promised an investigation, the issue of remote attendance—and whether it complies with state transparency requirements—remains unresolved. Second, the Concord Lake Sunapee Rail Trail projects brought tension to the floor. As the group discusses purchasing state-owned property and seeks $600,000 to unlock a $2.3 million state grant, local residents raised concerns about the lack of notification for property owners and the potential for increased noise and trash. While the Board noted the progress, they did not commit to any increased oversight or more robust community notification processes for these land-use changes. Residents deserve to know that our officials are following state law and that major community developments are handled with full transparency and respect for neighbors. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/warner/select-board/2026-06-23/ #MeetingWatch #WarnerNH
