  1. Donations to the Heritage Commission for Town Hall were accepted.  The Selectmen questioned the authority of the Heritage Commission to expend funds without their approval.  More Details
  2. A public hearing will be scheduled on a grant aimed at reestablishing Rye as a participant in the FEMA Community Rating System.  That would allow residents to receive at least five percent reductions in their flood insurance rates.  More Details
  3. A beach use permit allowing the Rye General Store to offer eight paddle boards for rental was approved.  More Details
  4. A request by two residents to relocate a no parking sign at Cable Rd. and Ocean Blvd. backfires.  The town will instead request that the State remove trees that interfere with sight distances.  More Details
  5. The reasons for the Town Hall warrant article having failed to pass were discussed.  Selectman Jenness notes that it “is scary” that a number of absolutely essential warrant articles barely passed.  More Details
