# Board of Selectmen 10/01/2026

The North Haven Board of Selectmen meeting on October 1, 2026, addressed several capital-project bond recommendations for the October 20 town meeting. The board approved recommendations for $7 million for Sacket Point Road reconstruction, $2 million for Church Street pedestrian and safety improvements, $3 million for Pool Road drainage improvements, $7 million for town roadway paving and drainage, and $800,000 for a pedestrian and bicycle connectivity project. The First Selectman said that, apart from the $7 million roadway-paving item, the projects were expected to be reimbursed through state grants. These were recommendations for town-meeting consideration, not final bond issuances. The board also approved the release of two development bonds, including a $3,730,000 bond for Center Plan Construction Company, and approved listed property-tax refunds.

The board discussed a petition concerning the cancellation of a fire-engine contract, including a $31,294.94 cancellation charge paid from the contingency line and a potential $1.251 million appropriation if the town had proceeded with the purchase. The town attorney advised that the petition’s requested actions were outside the town meeting’s authority under the charter; the board moved to reject the petition, but the transcript does not show a vote on that motion. The meeting also included an update on Amazon’s proposed drone-delivery facility: town officials said local planning and zoning approval did not authorize flights, which remained subject to FAA and state environmental review, and described efforts to arrange public meetings. The board recommended a municipal property-tax exemption for certain fully disabled veterans and surviving spouses for town-meeting consideration.
