Other topics discussed:
  • The Treasurer being on vacation without coverage during this crucial time (closing the FY15 books).  Brendan stated it doesn’t make it easy but it’s not impossible to get things done while she is away.  The Finance Committee stated it was not a propitious time to take off.  Suggestions for next year were to make sure there was better planning and coverage in that office.
  • The Building Inspector came in about a recent situation with the Electrical Inspector not putting in for payments for inspections done.  Don will calculate what he is owed and a check will be sent to him.  The funds will be carried forward.
  • The Tax Collector has reconciled her books and is waiting to hear from Brendan and Bethany to make sure her numbers reconcile with theirs.
