Littleton Select Board approves Town Manager contract terms; vacancy appointment pending

Select Board: Vacancy Interviews and Town Manager Contract

On July 20, the Select Board held an informal work session to interview two candidates — Dave Harkless and Bill Latulip — for a vacant seat on the board. No appointment was made during that session; the board stated it would make a decision at the July 27 meeting.

The board entered a nonpublic session under RSA 91-A:3, II (a) to discuss the Town Manager's contract, returning to public session on a 4-0 vote before approving the new terms for Brown. The meeting was adjourned on a 4-0 vote.

The Planning and Zoning Board met July 21 and approved minutes from its May 19 and June 16, 2026 meetings, both as written. Members continued a discussion regarding data centers and large load businesses, including potential zoning amendments and moratoriums, but took no formal action on those items.

Water and Light Commission: Projects and Policies on the Agenda

The Littleton Water and Light Commission held its regular meeting July 20. The agenda included review of minutes from June 15 and July 2, an Operations Manager report on water services, and an electric service report covering North Littleton Road.

Coming Up

The Water and Light Commission meets August 3 to review financial statements (Management Discussion and Analysis), consider approval of a large load rate, receive a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) update, and discuss a State Revolving Fund award and warrant article. The agenda notes the meeting may enter a nonpublic session under RSA 91-A:3 for personnel, legal, or emergency planning matters.

Littleton Select Board approves $45,000 parking enforcement vehicle; zoning board denies subdivision variance

The Littleton Select Board authorized up to $45,000 for a new parking enforcement vehicle and appointed a new member to the Littleton Water & Light Commission at its June 22 meeting. The same week, the Zoning Board of Adjustment denied a request to subdivide a portion of a 6.6-acre equestrian property on St. Johnsbury Road.

Select Board: Parking vehicle, appointments, and policies

The Select Board voted 4-0 to approve the purchase of a new parking enforcement vehicle, with the cost not to exceed $45,000. The expenditure will be funded from parking meter fund revenues rather than the general budget.

The Board also voted 4-0 to appoint BG Frazier to the Littleton Water & Light Commission, filling a vacant seat. The term runs through April 2027.

In other business, the Board adopted a revised Agenda and Meeting Procedures Policy on a 4-0 vote. Members also approved the June 8 regular meeting minutes and the June 8 non-public meeting minutes, each by 4-0 votes. The Board set a process to fill a vacant Select Board seat and reviewed upcoming capital improvement projects; those items were discussed but not voted on.

Zoning Board: Subdivision variance denied

On June 23, the Zoning Board of Adjustment voted 5-0 to deny a variance request to subdivide a 2-acre lot from a 6.6-acre equestrian property at 1227 St. Johnsbury Road.

According to the board's findings, the applicant did not demonstrate unnecessary hardship. The board noted other available options, including lot line adjustments or pasture-sharing agreements, that did not require a variance.

The board also held its officer elections, unanimously re-electing Mark Wright as Chair and Zach Hawkins as Vice Chair.

Why it matters

The $45,000 parking enforcement vehicle purchase is paid from parking meter revenues, meaning the cost does not draw on property tax funds. The appointment to the Littleton Water & Light Commission fills a vacancy on the body that oversees the town's municipal electric and water utility. The zoning denial keeps the 6.6-acre property at 1227 St. Johnsbury Road intact under current lot requirements.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed in the next 14 days. Residents are encouraged to check the town's official postings for any newly scheduled sessions.

Select Board Approves $45,000 Parking Enforcement Vehicle, Zoning Board Denies Subdivision

The Littleton Select Board authorized spending up to $45,000 from the parking meter fund for a new enforcement vehicle, while the Zoning Board of Adjustment rejected a request to divide a 6.6-acre equestrian property during the most recent round of municipal meetings.

Select Board

At its June 22 meeting, the board voted 4-0 to purchase a parking enforcement vehicle at a cost not to exceed $45,000. The funds will come from the parking meter fund. No specific vehicle type was identified in the minutes.

The board also appointed BG Frazier to a vacant seat on the Littleton Water & Light Commission. The term expires in April 2027. The vote was 4-0.

In a procedural move, the board adopted a revised Agenda and Meeting Procedures Policy by a 4-0 vote. The policy update follows earlier discussions about meeting protocols. The board also set a process to fill a vacant Select Board seat, but no immediate appointments were made.

Zoning Board of Adjustment

On June 23, the Zoning Board voted 5-0 to deny a variance request for a property at 1227 St. Johnsbury Road. The applicant sought to subdivide 2 acres from the 6.6-acre lot, which is used for equestrian activities. Board members found the applicant had not demonstrated unnecessary hardship, noting alternatives such as lot line adjustments or pasture-sharing agreements.

Additionally, the board elected Mark Wright as chair and Zach Hawkins as vice chair by unanimous vote.

Coming up

No public meetings are scheduled in Littleton for the next 14 days, according to municipal calendars.
