Subject: Board Discussion
HIGHLIGHTS:
Judy took to issue the proper right to know laws in adopting a town policy.
Richard would like to be consistent in using a letterhead. Judy has no problem with this when Richard brings to the town office a copy of his letterhead on disk to use.
Judy agreed to mention to Heather in the following morning, a possible conflict in scheduling with the Grange Meeting and the BCEP Budget meeting being held in the Grange Building on the same day. The Board of Selectmen has given the Grange Meetings exclusive use of the building for their meetings.
Judy explained that any over expenditure in a budget needs to come before the Board of Selectmen prior to the monies spent. The Board then votes on the over expenditure and where the money will come from. Richard DeBold still needs to give to Judy in writing the explanation for the Recreational Committee’s overspending for the Town Report.
Judy will request from Heather the following morning a current year to date so the Board will know where to pull the over expenditure from the Recreation Committee.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned by Chairman Bailey at 10:30 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
