Trustees authorize chair or designee to sign invoices and agree Select Board representation
Trustees addressed administrative items July 6, including granting authority to sign invoices and clarifying representation to the Select Board.

Motion 59: Nancy Birkrem moved that the Chair have the power to sign invoices for trustees’ expenses; Ellie Davis seconded. After brief discussion the motion was amended to authorize "the Chair or designee" to sign invoices prior to submission to the town finance office. The amended motion passed unanimously.

Trustees also renewed a question about how many man-hours Public Works provides to cemetery maintenance and who decides staffing; Nancy Birkrem was selected to represent the trustees at the Select Board meeting and an agenda for that meeting was agreed. The minutes record upcoming trustee meeting dates (July 22, Aug. 3 and Aug. 26 at 4:30 p.m.).

These items were recorded as Motion 59 and a subsequent Motion 60 to adjourn; Motion 60 passed and the meeting ended at 5:55 p.m.
