Mr. Fasciani reported that he met with the Planning Board regarding his interest in building a house on his property, which abuts a Class VI road. The Selectboard has received a letter from the Planning Board. The Planning Board recommends that the Selectboard requests that the Board require engineering drawings for the Class VI portion of Gulf Road to Mr. Fasciani’s property and a driveway design that comports with the Greenfield Driveway Ordinance. A discussion followed. Mr. Fasciani will need to go before the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a variance from the town’s Zoning requirement for frontage on a Class V road. The Board and Mr. Fasciani discussed the changes in RSA 674:41 that will occur in 2026. At the conclusion of the discussion, the Board assured Mr. Fasciani that he was making progress in the process of obtaining a building permit under the RSA.

6:30 PM: Angelika Wilkerson, Regional Prosecutor

At 6:30pm, the Chair welcomed Angelika Wilseron, Monadnock Regional Proscutor to the meeting. Chief Frank Shea and Officer Eneguess of the Greenfield Police Department joined the meeting. Atty. Wilkerson provided an overview of the Regional Prosecutor program to date. The current members include New Ipswich, Dublin, Fitzwilliam, and Greenfield. The payment formula is based on 50% Case Load and 50% Population. Attorney Wilkerson has reduced the budget request for 2026, which lowers the projected cost for the members. The program has expanded the number of hours per week for a legal assistant. Hancock has withdrawn from the program and will no longer be the host. Of the current members, Greenfield’s police station is best suited to host the prosecutor program due to the layout of the town’s police station. A discussion with the Board followed. At the conclusion of the discussion, the Board agreed to review the Regional Prosecutor Program’s by-laws (agreement) and expressed a willingness to host the program.

At the conclusion of the regional prosecutor discussion, Chief Shea discussed a Taser upgrade cost with the Selectboard. Chief Shea also discussed a potential part-time hire and the need to budget for the Police Standards and Training Part-Time academy. The discussion with the police department ended at 7:53 pm.
