According to a document prepared by the town accountant, it appears the selectmen are looking to ask for a transfer of $227,000.00 from the ambulance receipts fund to the general fund to help "balance" the fiscal  general fund baseline.

This looks like another take from peter to pay paul and it does not solve the issue of enough funds to cover all expenses that will be put to the voters at a town meeting.

Since it was a town meeting vote and the article was explained to town meeting that the ambulance receipts fund would be money set aside to cover the operating costs of the Templeton ambulance service. If this transfer is approved, where will the money come from to help pay the costs of the Templeton ambulance service? Where does the fire department stand on this? Too bad there is no fire chief to answer this. I know, we get a police chief yes man to oversee the administration of the fire department and all will be fine. What a plan!
