The Annual Town Meeting held in 2014, was the year that the light department began "paying for" light charges of town buildings and street lights. So, I do not find where Dave Smart's comment about no PILOT payment while I served on the select board from about May 19, 2011 until about March 17, 2014 has any truth to it. The information is on Town Meeting record and annual Town reports.
oops!

Just to give you a warm fuzzy feeling, it was stated at tonight's selectmen meeting that the snow & ice fund is in deficit by $130,000.00. Fire/EMS fund is short, the highway maintenance/supplies fund that we transferred $10,000.00 into will probably not make it to the end of the year (should have went with the department head number rather than the T/A number?) The Warrant for the upcoming Town meeting was/will be changed again and the Advisory Committee will not have it as required by Templeton Town by-laws.
Update: Templeton General Town by-laws state the Advisory Committee is suppose to have the Warrant by April 10. It was also stated that the Ambulance receipts fund is running short as in the projections are falling short, as in the fund will not have the at least $325,000.00 that an article for Town meeting asks for that amount to be transferred from Ambulance receipts to the general fund.
Still using one time funds as well to support the general fund spending plan.
