TO: Board of Selectmen
FROM: Carter Terenzini, Town Administrator
RE: Administrator’s Weekly Report
DATE: June 8, 2017
CC: All Departments ______________________________________________________________________________ Important Notice To All Departments
If you are ordering material or services; please try to get these placed by CoB 06/15 so bills against this FY can be processed in time.
Please remember the last date to submit bills for FY ’17 is 10 AM on Monday, July 10, 2017.
If you have capital or specialty projects in the FY ’18 budget please be prepared to talk soon about the timelines to get those out to bid.
The following is intended to provide information where a full memo may not have been warranted or supplement the provided information.
Business Meeting or Workshop: n/a 5.  Please see the revised DRAFT questions and let me know of any questions or concerns at your first convenience. I anticipate this interview to take up to 90 minutes.
   This Committee was created in September of 2013 to assess Town Buildings. The committee was to be active until the BOS “… decides it is no longer needed…”. Since that time, you have addressed several of the issues raised (Town Hall and the surplusing of the modular units) and created a Building and Grounds Division with a department head having overall responsibility for the management of town buildings. Therefore, we do suggest that you dissolve the committee and discharge its members with the thanks of a grateful community.

This is a follow up from your discussion at the workshop of 06/05. This Draft would normally be referred to a Workshop for further discussion.  This is a follow-up from your discussion at the workshop of 05/05.  This is an extension of time to December 31, 201. There is no cost associated with it. The need is driven primarily by our attention being consumed by the FY 2-13 to 2016 audit process.  This is to authorize the lease purchase of the cruiser as approved in the FY ’18 budget. m. As of today, it does not look like we will have a need to present any requests for transfers at your meeting of 06/12. We do, however, expect to present transfers for your action at your meeting of 06/26.  In doing the design work on the new elementary school it was discovered that the Town did not have a formal easement for the drainage piping it maintains and the water discharge that we cause. This will correct that issue and allow us to go in to install the new piping and carry-out periodic maintenance. p. The easement that the Army Corps granted to the Town for its water infrastructure has expired. This will extend it to 2027. It has been reviewed by Town Counsel. The ACoE has denied all of the various requests. You truly do not have any option but to accept the extension as proposed.
 This is a revised Draft coming out of your workshop of 06/05.

Sometimes, one does not have to write any criticism, it is sometimes done for you!
