TO: Board of Selectmen
FROM: Carter Terenzini, Town Administrator
RE: Administrator’s Weekly Report
DATE: July 13, 2017
CC: All Departments
Weekly Report: I’ve reviewed the updated cherry sheet revenue and offset figures which are in the final state budget. They are in line with our revenue projections (i.e. $794 below the projections we used or .048% less than House 1 on a base of $1.65 million.) w/Respect to FY ’18, we now have $75k in the Ambulance Receipts reserved for appropriation of the $100k that we need for the Fall Town Meeting. The July receipts will provide us with the balance of what we need. I will warn you that this cycle of making a supplemental appropriation of these receipts at the Fall Town Meeting is what you will need to follow each year for the next few as you build this account up to where it has true reserves. The Advisory Committee approved the two transfer requests (Legal Counsel and Snow & Ice) so we were able to close those accounts out w/out deficit. w/Respect to FY ’17, otherwise we are on track to close the FY on schedule and continue on with our plan as per the Gant chart supplied to you. Likewise, the school project remains on track as we described to you on 06/29. I have now received the PD construction timeline and will send you an updated Gant chart once I’ve been able to review this submission and plug it in. Letters have gone out to all of our unsuccessful applicants for the several positions recently filled. They were advised that their applications will remain on file for 6 months from the closing date in case something for which they are suited comes up. The new town domain email for the Advisory Committee has been established as advisorycommittee@templeton1.org. We have informed them and asked them to use it in all official communications. Other non-town emails will be swung over in the coming few weeks. The special financial report will be going to the printer next week.
I hope the Town Administrator and selectmen realize there are approximately 2000 emails contained in the Advisory Committee existing email account that need to be saved and stored somewhere, as they are public records and contain record of town business.

Good News! Looks like everything is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThe hard work done by department heads to control their budgets resulted in enough money ($131,000) to transfer and cover the Snow and Ice deficit. That is great news!
It will be very interesting to see how much money remains in the FY 17 budget. That money should eventually clear out to Free Cash, if approved by the DOR.
So one question might be, was the merger of departments really fiscally necessary? Or was it a tactic to terminate a few long time employees?
Time will tell.
What departments do you think they will go after next?
My opinions, as always
