*Stratford Select Board · Meeting recap · meeting of Monday, September 21, 2026*

The Select Board met on Monday, September 21, 2026, at the Stratford Grange. Harry R. Juergens called the meeting to order at 6:00 PM. Ron Scott, Jr. and Charlie Goulet were also present, and the meeting adjourned at 6:30 PM. The board noted that no residents attended, even though the meeting had been posted in public places and on the town website.

### Decisions

- **Bordeau Road:** The board voted unanimously to place Bordeau Road on the warrant for the upcoming year. It had discussed drainage, culverts, road width and the curves.
- **Diamond Road / ATV trail:** The board approved a motion to leave the existing ATV trail where it is and not extend it onto Diamond Road. The Town Administrator will contact the affected property owner and the person who asked about the trail.
- **Veterans Monument:** The board authorized the repair work to proceed. Weirs Brothers said it cannot give a firm estimate until the existing stone and cement are opened and evaluated.
- **Hollow Fire Station property:** The board decided a survey is not needed now and does not feel there is an encroachment issue. No further action will be taken.
- **Manifest:** C. Goulet and R. Scott, Jr. approved signing the manifests for 9/14/2026, 9/8/2026, 8/24/2026 and 8/31/2026, by a 3/0 vote.
