Board of Selectmen 06/04/2026

The June 4, 2026 meeting of the North Haven Board of Selectmen primarily focused on community governance issues, including public comment policies aimed at reducing divisiveness and maintaining civility during meetings. The board passed a motion to restrict public comments that mention individuals by name unless those individuals are present to respond. Budget discussions highlighted concerns about the upcoming referendum, potential financial strategies if the budget fails, and the challenges of rising property taxes and limited state funding. The meeting also included a presentation on a proposed Revolutionary War veterans memorial, with fundraising efforts planned to cover costs estimated between $4,100 and $7,400. Additionally, the board addressed property tax refunds, local infrastructure concerns such as a proposed cell tower, and community support for public safety services. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this session, but the discussion of budgetary constraints and fundraising initiatives may influence future procurement and capital projects.
