from the current pages of Policies and Procedures for selectmen:

On Templeton Town website under the Board of Selectmen.

Minutes shall contain a full statement of all actions taken by the Board and of the disposition of all proposals for
action. Minutes of Executive Sessions shall be separately kept and recorded in accordance with the above
procedures. Minutes (other than of Executive Session) are open for public inspection. Copies of all approved
open session minutes shall be posted on the Town Website for viewing and recorded with the Town Clerk.

yet on Town website, meeting calendar, selectmen meeting at such a date & time, that minutes ARE NOT on file with Town Clerk.

Grrrrr. I believe that with a great attitude, high intentions, honor, honesty, integrity and a spirit of cooperation we can accomplish many things individually and as a whole no matter what path we have chosen to walk in our career or any kind of service.
I am so tired of back stabbing, nit picking, a lack of concern and care, the out to get you attitude along with not understand the consequences for all actions and how about the general disregard for respect of another's thoughts and opinions.

Suggestion for a solution to this dilemma, rather than standing on a soap box on face book, (figuratively) get up and speak up at a selectmen meeting and ask or state why the Board of Selectmen are not following their own rules that the board voted on? Now that would be a solution and an accomplishment done in open meeting. That would be one less item that Bennett could bring up, as in nit picking as Ms. Brooks put it.
