Templeton capital planning committee report/recommendation to selectmen for fiscal year 2020.
scout hall equipment and furnishings from cable fund @ $10,000.00. That was a recommendation forwarded to selectmen per the bylaw according to the report on town website.
Mike Currie is listed as vice chair of the capital improvement committee. Fiscal year 2020 is from July 1 2019 until June 30, 2020.
Records show members of the board of selectmen for that period:
If one looks at meeting minutes of the Templeton community preservation committee, many meeting agendas had scout hall and tctv was in the mix. If the building was intended for scouts, why was that not in the original town meeting article back in 2016? Original vote took place May 2016, which is fiscal year 2016 and annual town report shows selectmen at that time - Kenneth Robinson
John Columbus
Julie Richard
Doug Morrison
Diane Haley Brooks.
Seems to be a planning issue, as in lack of one from beginning, no end game, no plain statement the building will be used for this: This morning at 7:30 A.M., there are two signs about scouts planted in grass at so called scout hall, I do not know who planted them there, but, I hope they are in line with town sign bylaw.
Templeton capital planning committee report of fiscal year 2021, shows in part $20,000.00 from cable fund for scout hall furnishings. Report states all tax and non tax impacting requests are recommended to selectmen. Members listed in report: Julie Richard - chairman, Bob May vice chair, Cheryl Richardson/ town treasurer collector, Amanda Murray / member at large and Adam Lamontagne, assistant town administrator ex-officio member.
So with all money coming from tctv/cable fund, what exactly was the thought of selectmen and capital and anyone else/ Did anyone think tctv was not going into the building? All this information is on town website so you can check it out. Any donations from cub master, former selectmen John Capis, owner of caplis medical consulting service? My personal opinion was use tctv to get building funded as tctv has alot of support and keeps community informed by way of recorded meetings, etc. and once the building was finished, toss tctv back into the closet and scouts in and that is that. Again, that is my personal opinion, based in part of my time watching town politics.
