The New London Board of Selectmen on July 16 approved a series of routine motions and funding requests by voice vote.
- AARP Tax‑Aide fee waiver: The board approved waiving facility fees for the AARP Tax‑Aide program after a presentation by volunteer Jim Schultz about local volumes (roughly 300–360 returns this year; more than 1,600 over five years).
- Capital reserve: The board approved withdrawal of $77,916 to cover deposits on two solar arrays (energy conservation) and a $1,905 reimbursement for a computer replacement tied to the incoming fire chief.
- Fire station safety: The board approved $8,250 from the town building maintenance capital reserve to replace garage door openers and install safety sensors after technicians reported opener failures and safety concerns.
- Encumbrance: The board approved encumbering $43,999.65 in invoices so those costs will not roll into the FY27 budget.
- Minutes: The board approved the minutes of June 30 and July 2.
In each case, the transcript records a voice vote with members answering "Aye"; individual vote tallies and mover/second names were not recorded in the transcript.
