An important item missing from the printed 2016 Annual Town report. It was submitted for inclusion but for some unknown reason, it was omitted from the report. This shows how the Templeton Town reserve fund was used in fiscal 2016. Another example of sloppy "accounting" of Town money, not from the past, from the present, by the current board of selectmen. Many transfers in fiscal 2016, shortfalls in fiscal year 2017 and more in fiscal 2018, right out of the box. More problems anticipated in fiscal 2019, in part, due to some $2.00 per hour increases called for in the labor contract for the highway department (not raging but highlighting a public document) located on Templeton Town website, under boards & Committees, board of selectmen, contracts & agreements. The happy times are over -  appointed and sworn in to another term on the Advisory Committee
