Town Manager’s Report
- In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as National Police Week. Please keep your officers in mind during this week as they remember the officers who have been killed in the line of duty.
- Beginning July 1, 2015 the New Hampshire “Hands Free” law takes effect. In addition to barring adult drivers from holding their cell phones and talking, drivers under the age of 18 will be barred from all mobile phone use. Fines begin at $100, increase to $250 for second offenses, and then top out at $500.
- The MYA has not submitted their financials since October 2014. The Town has withheld (2) payments totaling $36,000.
