 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!
