Plaistow meeting roundup: Agendas out, but no decisions on record yet
Plaistow residents had a busy stretch of public meetings from June 22 through July 1, but the town has not yet published minutes for any of them. That means no votes, dollar amounts, or final decisions can be confirmed from the available record. What follows is a summary of what was scheduled for discussion, based on the agendas posted for each meeting.
Board of Selectmen — June 22
The Selectmen's agenda listed a discussion on water rates and a request for Budget Committee emails. The meeting also included a special session requested by a resident, followed by the regular business meeting. Routine items included approval of the June 15, 2026, draft minutes and review of the accounts payable manifest. No minutes have been published, so no outcomes are available.
Highway Safety Advisory Committee — June 23
The committee was scheduled to approve April 2026 minutes and elect a chair. Old business included sensory impaired child signs on Timberlane Road and a traffic calming project. New business covered traffic enforcement efforts, a speed trailer, commercial vehicle enforcement, highway safety grant funding, and issues on Forrest Street, Hoyt Farm Road, and Cole's Way. No minutes have been published.
CIP Committee — June 24
The Capital Improvements Program Committee planned to review 2025 recommendations, review capital requests on the 2026 Official Ballot, initiate department requests, review the definition of capital improvement, and set targets for committee recommendations. No minutes have been published.
