> Before the committee questions, Advisory did agree to have a meeting on December 20, 2017, a Wednesday, at 6:00 P.M. at Town Hall in the conference room. This is an already scheduled/planned date for a meeting. I just wish to confirm with you that this is a good day/date/time. Planned items will be Advisory budget for FY2019 and Committee report for the ATR so as to meet time lines put forth by the administrator.

> Now for the questions:
>
> 1. - Is the BOS financial policy shown on the Town website under the BOS tab the most current up to date one or has there been changes or additions that have not yet been posted?
Holly Young -"I can answer the first question for you, however, the others will have to wait for Carter to answer when he is back in the office on Monday. The financial policy on the website is the latest completed one. It is on the agenda for Monday for an amendment to it to be voted. I’m assuming once that is updated, we will replace the current one on the website."
>
> 2. - As to the 5 million dollar bond anticipation note (BAN) for the Town that was due to be settled by December 1, 2017 been paid off or has it been extended?
>
> The Ban was paid out of a new BAN executed a few days earlier. This is not uncommon of how things are done as we move a project toward permanent bonding.
>
> 3. - Are there any other bond anticipation notes (BANs) out at this time?
>
> We have four totaling $9.9M.
>
> 4. - Does the Town have a firm to conduct the Templeton FY 2017 audit in pace and if so, who is it?
>
> Roselli and Clark has conducted the FY 2017 audit under the terms of its agreement for FY ’13 through FY 17. They have completed their field work.
>
> Lastly, while this is not a question, the committee voted that it is not feasible at this time to give a hard date for the required pre-town meeting by the Advisory Committee. There is a time line requirement by aw and the committee will meet time line and forward it to this office in a timely manner.
>
> Please let us know at your earliest convenience that Kelli and I might attend if we have not made a prior commitment.
>
> Also, Paul Grubb will be in touch with the administrator with regards to VADAR training days/dates.

Why do you appear to need a decryption device/code to get a complete answer.
ReplyDeleteWe had a $5 million dollar BAN due on 12/1
From the BOS meeting we took out 3 BANs totaling 7.6 million
Did the Sewer Department as an Enterprise take out its own BAN? I've seen nothing else that would fit the #2.3 million dollar hole..........9.9 - 7.6 = 2.3 million
Anyone else have an explanation for the word games?
Talk around Town about the TA is what is happening behind closed office doors with employees
ReplyDeleteState facts or shut your trap!

Our TA had better not be threatening our employees. He should also keep his pants on. Sorry but he is no Tom Seleck..

DeleteHad to think twice about this. Our town workers are in a tough spot. The tax collector and the people in the Assessors Office will get the anger ov the tax payers once the tax bills come out. It is not fair to them, but they are on the front line. These people are professional and should be treated with respect, by everyone ! Get it, everyone ! None of the people in Town Hall need to put up with any kind of grief ! The good women will stand by them.
