Selectman Burrill gave the Board a status update on a letter the Board received from the State of NH Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) dated August 6, 2015. The letter from DRA Municipal Accounts Auditor has been forwarded to Town Counsel and the Bond Attorney and at this time we have not received a response from either party. A handful of solutions have been discussed to remedy this minor procedural defect but the letter from DRA shows only one solution which is also the most complicated; therefore the Board is obtaining legal opinions. Burrill hoped to have more information for the Board’s next meeting on September 1, 2015.

Doggett moved to adjourn at 6:08pm. Second by Foote with a unanimous vote.
Respectfully Submitted,
Mary Winglass, Office Manager
