oops a daisy, as a Town resident mentioned at the selectmen meeting on Monday of this week, what good does it do to have Town by-laws and to spend money on getting them codified if no one follows them, the resident was apparently chastised by selectmen Julie Richards. Selectmen Richards seemed to follow up grilling fellow selectmen Doug Morrison with this action. If you get a chance to watch the movie, you can probably see this for yourselves.






Good Day:

Please remember that any capital item being put in front of Town Meeting for a vote must be submitted to the CIC  for review before the TM vote.  It does not matter what the source of funding is.

The below items are (will be) somewhere on the warrant or are being funded through the TWLP PILOT. 

$18,500.00
TH Mini-Split; Conf/Accounting, Misc. *

At a quick review of the FY ’18 CIP memorandum, the items in yellow do not look  like they were submitted to the CIC.  In ADDITION it looks like the $12k for file cabinets (Assessors) and the Pleasant Street Pump Station still need to be submitted for review.

You may find the forms that you need if you follow this link.  http://www.templeton1.org/capital-planning-committee/files/capital-planning-forms

I am asking you all to review your original submissions (Police it appears you only asked for one cruiser in FY ’18 so if you are looking for a 2nd cruiser in the fall you may want to follow-up) and make sure to submit follow-up requests no later than April 10 that we might be fully through the process by the time of Town Meeting.

Many Thanks

  1. Over $12,000 in upgrades to the Police interceptor? What? I priced one up road ready for over $5,000 less?

    Are we putting bulletproof doors on our cruisers in Templeton???

  3. Hey! Bob M
    Please apply for capital planning. We need a quorum! The heavy lifting has been done, but your input would be appreciated.

  4. Yes, we really need some people to help out. Keeping this board without a quorum has bit the town where it hurts ! After year after year, when someone does not make any effort to attend a meeting, don't you think someone would think this person is not interested, and try to get someone else ? A no brainier, in my opinion. If anyone has some time and common sense, please step up and help out.
