The Hooksett Conservation Commission held a special meeting on July 1, 2025, led by Vice Chair Alan Stein. The meeting primarily focused on the approval of financial matters related to the River Walk Trail project.
During the session, the commission discussed the final payment of a 2% surety bond amounting to $8,680.60 owed to John E. Neville Excavation Incorporated. This payment was contingent upon the satisfactory completion of work on the River Walk Trail, which was confirmed by both the engineering company and the commission's leadership. After a brief discussion, the motion to approve the payment was unanimously passed with a vote of 5 to 0.
The meeting also included introductions from various members, including representatives from the town council and planning board. However, no other agenda items, such as the consent agenda or approval of previous meeting minutes, were addressed, as these will be discussed in the upcoming August meeting.
Overall, the meeting underscored the commission's commitment to ensuring that local projects are completed to standard before releasing funds, reflecting a careful approach to financial oversight in community conservation efforts.
