  1. A conservation acquisition of the parcel just north of the Surf Shack, near Wallis Rd. and Ocean Blvd., was approved for $13,400.  More Detail
  2. The new septic pump out ordinance has revealed five previously unknown parcels using holding tanks rather than leach fields for sewage disposal.  Several have water use much higher than what is being pumped from the holding tanks.  Records on State holding tank permits issued are allegedly unavailable.  More Detail
  3. After extensive public comment, the Selectmen voted to proceed with design/build requests for proposal on two Town Hall options significantly smaller than discussed previously.  Prices will be obtained for renovation of the existing Town Hall as well as the cost of demolishing it and building a new replica.  More Detail
  4. The Selectmen did not react to a suggestion from the Rye Civic League that they provide the Facilities Master Plan contemplated by 2013 Article 4 and also use NH Listens and Plan NH to look at all of our needs and buildings (Transfer Station, Recreation, space in Public Safety Building and schools), conduct a Charrette, and achieve community consensus to avoid unsuccessful votes in the future.  Click here for the letter and here for information on our facilities.  More Detail
