Selectmen noted the roadway was accepted by the town on Feb. 6, 2023. \"As part of that, a performance bond in the amount of 45,200 shall be posted to the benefit of the town for a term of 2 years,\" a board member recounted, citing the minutes from the earlier acceptance. The highway supervisor informed the planning board and selectmen that he had monitored the street throughout the bond term and would support releasing the entire amount.

A selectman moved to accept the release of the performance bond, including accrued interest; another selectman seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote.

The board instructed staff to process the release according to town procedures. No members raised ongoing concerns about the roadway’s condition during the discussion.

Background: The bond was posted at the time the town accepted the roadway in 2023 and was held for two years to guarantee construction and maintenance standards. Highway staff reported no outstanding issues at the completion of that period.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","20250210 Selectmen","oneSentenceSummary","The Board of Selectmen accepted Highway Supervisor Garlington's recommendation and voted to release the $45,200 performance bond for Carly’s Way after the town accepted the roadway in February 2023 and the supervisor reported no issues.","taxTitle"," Plaistow, Rockingham County, New Hampshire","taxId",54781,"location","New Hampshire","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6515512,"Plaistow selectmen adopt higher building inspection fees",195,733000,928000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3859640-0e2ce8b40741baed436deb71adf6598c&start=733&end=928","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3859640-0e2ce8b40741baed436deb71adf6598c/thumbnail_733000.jpg","/articles/6515512/New-Hampshire/Plaistow-selectmen-adopt-higher-building-inspection-fees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515512-51a21a9e7f4da7f0e468844745543911/orig.mp4?Expires=1770519519&Signature=Uj3b8IwLvahcwvchs32z9lxsk974lTss6TxdvsrYyWTXX9jZb9r4ulezWc-HiUQFSXuocucT4PkXWodUuQF-MQdamKaIiA8Tyq7pzDMH0Lyn~xHAhId1F94UMzYxC-NbTB09aamBktKZ3ekE-iheAJQH9QYLIJCw2EK~V-oZ9A9tLRM-0pppvvFJrkMtyykloXfFp0Y4dkAy7mD3VfWk4fF6C2UMT22IMpetuiQ37ba0tWl8ZBOzLA71I76Pc-XZOB2jTSQugsLdEW67BUsVwuV1NobPTuZV2bN7KwolIHeiFUvzje8xNmHkA5sCorZYQODkcai6-zwowBjSf4-JPA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Selectmen voted Feb. 10 to adopt a revised permanent fee schedule for building permits after the building department recommended changes to better align the town’s fees with neighboring communities.

Emily Blair, administrative assistant in the Department of Building Safety, prepared a memo and comparative research showing Plaistow’s inspection fees were lower than surrounding towns. Selectmen moved to adopt the schedule Blair proposed, which raises inspection fees from $40 to $50 and groups certain permit categories.

\"She's done her due diligence. I mean, she's getting 3, 4 other towns here. Yeah. And they're They're all higher. They're all above the 50,\" one selectman said when discussing the comparison provided by Blair.

Selectman Darryl made the motion to adopt the new schedule \"as laid out for us by Emily Blair at the building department,\" and Selectman John seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote.

The revised schedule also removes certain impact fees from the formal fee table and consolidates sign permit applications; the town clerk and building department documents show the changes as tracked edits. The board and staff said the inspection fee increase is intended to have inspection services cover more of their costs rather than be fully subsidized by taxpayers.

What the vote does not do: The board did not separately vote tonight on any changes to how school projects are billed; the meeting included a clarification that school project fees have been collected in the past and routed through the four‑town arrangements described by staff.

Next steps: The adopted fee schedule takes effect according to the town’s usual implementation process; the board did not attach a separate effective date during the Feb. 10 vote.","The Board of Selectmen voted to adopt a revised permanent fee schedule that raises inspection fees and consolidates some permit categories after a recommendation from the building department.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6515517,"Plaistow seeks interim assessor after long‑time firm gives 30‑day notice",233,257000,490000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3859640-0e2ce8b40741baed436deb71adf6598c&start=257&end=490","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3859640-0e2ce8b40741baed436deb71adf6598c/thumbnail_257000.jpg","/articles/6515517/New-Hampshire/Plaistow-seeks-interim-assessor-after-longtime-firm-gives-30day-notice","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515517-7a71b52450479a4487e3727d91044818/orig.mp4?Expires=1770519519&Signature=nr6m5Iyu165fsyGsLGcx83UhGfxT0cHHmf4MLFUOsvRuzb89P3FG52T9UsacOGgdKfL1xvOk6JkYO1PIneh1eP7Xjxpi5Qgp2ojKaHxp6ZvOZxHsTroBslYBo2yWzM9YoASqQmEAH0QRWTD0JSADtRKuJgVBVw89Z6zurUDV~EmLPttnQwOcb0dtuMaoXN~Oe4JwxDwOV-9IaaknzGYTmqanaGX-ZTFHMjzES1YxNqlWJ5SkBJsMvtL72tp9K5GKr86FnmImFiroErN2Vb3aQ4BoJK9fYK-HPJIfxcGLsJczuvFCJwaoanSz~UGz3cmNiEvnPSgSCVrjpWJt2LJC3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town Manager Greg Colby told the Board of Selectmen on Feb. 10 that Corcoran Consulting Associates, the town’s longtime assessing firm, gave 30 days’ notice that it would stop providing assessing services, leaving the town without assessor coverage after Feb. 11, 2025.

Colby said the town immediately issued a request for proposals for assessing services and received one proposal from a firm based in Haverhill, Massachusetts. \"They gave us 30 day notice that they would not be able to provide us with assessing services. The last day of availability for them is tomorrow, 02/11/2025,\" Colby said. He added the proposal included separate prices for day‑to‑day office services, a statistical update in 2025 and a full revaluation scheduled for 2026.

\"We are in the 70 to 72% range,\" Colby said, describing the town’s assessed‑to‑market ratio and noting that the town is well below the recommended 95–105% range. He said the town had asked proposers to price all three options because the 2026 full revaluation is already planned and a 2025 statistical update had been discussed with town counsel.

Colby said the day‑to‑day services could likely be absorbed within the current budget if the board accepts the proposal, and that the contract with the Haverhill firm would run on a calendar year and start March 1 if the town proceeds. \"They're out of Haverhill, Massachusetts,\" Colby said of the proposer.

Selectmen did not take formal action on Feb. 10; Colby said the board will place the RFP responses on the agenda for its next meeting in two weeks so members can decide before the March 1 start date. He said he planned to contact the proposer that week to confirm availability and next steps.

Background: Colby said the RFP had a Jan. 30 submission date and that Corcoran’s notice prompted multiple communities to scramble for assessing services. Colby described the three pricing elements requested in the RFP — day‑to‑day operations, a 2025 statistical update and a 2026 full revaluation — but the board did not authorize any of those services during the meeting.

What happens next: The selectmen expect to review the single proposal at their next regular meeting, before deciding whether to accept only interim day‑to‑day coverage or to contract for a statistical update or full revaluation as add‑ons.","Town Manager Greg Colby told the Board of Selectmen that Corcoran Consulting Associates gave 30 days' notice and the town issued an RFP; one proposal was received for day‑to‑day services, with options for a 2025 statistical update and a full 2026 revaluation.","actionData","errors"]
