Section9-6 of Templeton Town bylaws, Advisory Committee- The Advisory Committee shall meet jointly with the Select Board whenever there is a request to consider adjusting spending limits on any revolving fund, any end of year financial transfer or any request of transfer from the Town reserve fund.
Advisory Committee meeting agenda - June 1, 2023:
a. Action RE: Public Works- Emergency fund transfer request.
Public Works Emergency fund = a transfer request from town reserve fund (the is no emergency fund in State Law - MGL chapter 40, section 5c) so it seems the town administrator, the select board and advisory committee either do not understand town bylaws or do not care about them. Beginning of last meeting of select board, new chair stated about how the select board follows policy and procedure. They would impress the hell out of me if they would follow a town bylaw for once!
Article 3 on May 11, 2022 or a little over a year ago this same group changed the bylaw, but they just can't follow it!

Apparently these folks dont plan on following the bylaws they put in place.
Maybe the Town Administrator or the Assistant failed again?
Matt Rivard might not have voted in favor of this on Advisory as the Vote for the Pre-Town was 4-1 in favor.
ReplyDeleteMr Rivard, sorry for any confusion.

this is the balance of individuals involved in voting for the new bylaw 1 yr ago. They plan on violating said bylaw if agenda is to be believed on June 1
Let us not forget, at last town meeting, 11 thousand transferred out of dpw to help pay cost of snow & ice, (article 3) but now dpw needs money to finish fiscal year, which has one month left. The high paid pros need some math tutoring.
