At the May 28, 2026 work session, a Rockingham Planning Commission assistant director described the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as a long-term money plan. It usually covers at least six years. It helps a town plan for large costs and keep tax rates steady. She said the CIP is advice only. It helps balance each year's budget with long-term spending. She also said CIP committees should include members from many departments, not just the planning board, so that more people share what the town needs. She said department heads are important for finding both needed and wanted capital items. No vote was recorded on this topic.

RPC recommended sending the survey out before any public meetings on the updates. RPC estimated the cost at $4,000 to $5,000. Earlier in the meeting, the board was told it would handle the updates itself instead of hiring outside consultants. A Conservation Commission member also suggested naming a liaison between the Planning Board and the Conservation Commission.

After meeting with the Rockingham Planning Commission in May, a member reported the Planning Board can update the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) without paying the commission. The board discussed doing a community survey itself or hiring the commission, noting similar surveys in other towns cost $4,000-$5,000. The Select Board representative will ask the Select Board whether the budget has money for a survey. Members also said the plan does not allow fees for remote impacts, and impact fees should be used only for clear, direct impacts. A member said unused impact fees must be returned if not spent within six years.
