So you think it is only the Advisory Committee?

Kelli,

I have strong concerns that the vehicle expense account will not have enough funds in the account to repair and service the town fleet until June 30th. As you may recall $20,000 was taken from this account to repair a water pump on the Towns ladder truck. Without a transfer back to this account, vehicles will have to be parked until July 1st. If this happens the Town has only one mechanic, it will take time to restore service to the vehicles that need repairs.

Seems like a department head has some concerns over the movement of numbers by the selectmen too!
Perhaps it would have been more prudent for the selectmen or the fire chief to go to the Advisory Committee and request a transfer from the reserve fund of the town. Oh wait, there is no fire chief and the temporary fire chief does not seem willing to go to the Advisory Committee. So we, the town. just get more moving the pea around from cup to cup. There seems to be a problem somewhere, now we just have to admit it and see how to best address it.
