Note: Public Minutes for December 8, 2025
The Board discussed improving the review and correction process for draft meeting minutes before formal meetings. Mr. Brunelle mentioned that issues could be addressed in advance, after Town Hall posts the minutes. This would allow the Board members to comment directly and enable the minute taker to review, evaluate, and update the content before final consideration.
Ms. Kleiner noted that draft minutes must be posted within five days in accordance with statutory requirements.
The Board tabled the meeting minutes until the next meeting.

2025 Town Annual Report
Each year we are preparing the Annual Town Report to be available to our residents right before the statutory deadline below:
Tuesday, March 3, 2026 Annual town report with final budget and ballot questions must be available today. [RSA 40:13, II]
This year we would like to make an effort to have them available to the public no later than Friday, February 27th. Because the process consists of editing,
combining files and paginating the full report, we are asking that all Board and Commission reports be sent to Donna Baril, dbaril@litchfieldnh.gov, no later
than Friday, February 14. Understandably, reports from the deliberative session will be received after this deadline.
