Select Board reviews library MOU, minutes edits and schedules nonpublic discussion on vehicle policy

At the July 20 meeting the Select Board reviewed a redlined memorandum of understanding with the library trustees and proposed several clarifications. Board members objected to overly specific language listing particular "governmental services" and asked that the MOU identify and define services (payroll, property/liability coverage) more clearly rather than using imprecise phrases such as "some accounts." They recommended adding explicit liability coverage language and clarifying whether roof snow‑removal was included; members suggested the library or building trustees retain responsibility for roof work and that any contractor tasks be specified.

The board also edited and approved the June 15 and July 6, 2026 meeting minutes (typos, plaque/portrait wording and corrections to a fire station sign description) and agreed to move discussion of the town equipment and vehicle‑use policy to nonpublic session with the highway manager due to personnel/contract concerns under RSA 91‑A:3 II(a),(c),(I). The board reconvened after nonpublic, voted to seal the nonpublic minutes for 10 years and adjourned at 8:26 p.m.

Members directed staff to incorporate the MOU edits and to present a revised version to the library trustees at their next meeting.
