Letter from DPW director Alan Mayo
Request for transfer
Dated March 20, 2017

Within this letter, it states "I am requesting for a transfer from the Advisory Board reserve. I am requesting $15,000.00. The current balance is $5,862.78." The letter also states "This account was hit with an unexpected expense of $20,000.00 to repair a fire truck. The repair to the fire truck was incurred on 3/3/2017."

Included in the request is a wok order of some sort,

W.D. Perkins

There is a partial date at the top of 2-20 with the year missing because of an apparent fold over when making the copy.

This paper work lists parts at $13,626.36, labor at $8,900.00 and machine shop work at $600.00. Freight charge of $117.61 with a total listed at $23,243.97.

So, since i am a pain the ass, there is no Advisory Board, it is Advisory Committee. Next, it is not the Advisory Committee (Board) reserve, it is the Town of Templeton Reserve fund appropriated, as in set aside by the voters of Templeton at Town Meeting. Advisory Committee does over see it and approves/disapproves transfer from this fund.

We have one document dated March 21, 2017 stating a balance of $8,374.99 as of 3/17/17, then there is a letter from a department head, dated 3/20/17 stating a balance of $5,862.78 and requesting $15,000.00. So, do the selectmen, Town Administrator, Town Accountant read what they sign before they sign it?

A look back at the department request for the machinery maintenance fund for fiscal year 2017 was $104,600.00.

So Dave Smart may opine that I am uninformed because I missed a meeting and he may opine I am picking on him and a selectmen may opine I am a school kid, but I try to be informed as possible as a member of the Templeton Advisory Committee when tasked with spending money that belongs to the people of Templeton.
