There is now an 8 1/2 x 11 posting on town bulletin board at town hall stating how to find information on meetings on town website. Now if the links on the town web site can be fixed so residents can find information, that would be great.

T/A weekly report (first one since Dec. 17, 2020 is out; Assessor, accountant, town clerk, police and fire/EMS nothing reported.

Templeton meals tax to date:

1st quarter = $13,317.00

2nd quarter = $16,339.00

That is FY21 thru December 31, 2020.

Treasurer / Collector for Templeton employment agreement expired June 30, 2020 and is finally scheduled to be in front of the board of selectmen. Now about that animal control inter-municipal agreement that expired June 30, 2020?

At some point in time, perhaps membership on advisory committee should be looked at and the number of members reduced to 5, that would need to go before town meeting as a by-law change.

Hopefully, an article asking what budget format town meeting would like to see for the next fiscal year budget, FY23, per MA department of revenue opinion.

Since the premise for making assistant town accountant full time was due to inter-municipal agreement with Hubbardston and that is no longer the case, BOS should consider making that position part time again.

Fleecing of town residents - dog license fees raised to $20.00 and FY2020 3rd quarter revenue shows revenue from dog license sales at over $15,000.00. FY2021 shows expense $$$ needed to purchase dog license at $400.00 and $370.00 needed for delinquent dog postcards and postage; so, say $1,000.00 needed to offer this service to residents with dogs. Seems this dog license fee could/should be reduced to around $5.00 and still cover the expense of town dog license service.
