NH GRAFTON — Board of Selectmen appoints Ed Grinley as Chair, assigning new liaison responsibilities across police, highway, recreation, cemetery, library, fire, ambulance, and planning. Police staffing remains interim: Russell continues as active administrative Chief, and Roy Holland joins as part-time officer and training officer, following Jeff Cogswell's decline of the Police Chief position. The board authorized Road Agent Sam Faulkner to bid on an F250 truck replacement up to 17,000 dollars plus costs and discontinued use of Reeds for roll-off repairs except when necessary after recent mechanical issues required radiator replacement.
