Board unanimously approves three selectmen requests including $2,500 for SECCOG invoice and records disposition

At the July 15 meeting the Lisbon Board of Finance approved several Selectmen’s requests and an annual records disposition.

The board voted unanimously to approve a $3,800 line-item transfer for the Conservation Commission, moving funds from enforcement officer (LI#52030) to supplies and expenses (LI#52050) to pay a consultant for a DEEP forest-management grant application. Members also approved a $40 transfer within the Clerk to the Boards budget (LI#52611 to LI#52650) to replace a digital recorder.

The board approved an additional appropriation of $2,500 to LI#51730 (Purchased Services) to cover the final FY25/26 SECCOG invoice for the town planner; the estimated invoice was $12,633.25 and the current line-item balance was $10,216.42 for FY25/26. The motion carried unanimously.

Separately, the board approved the Clerk to the Boards’ request to dispose of annual records for FY22-23. The minutes record the approval but do not detail which records were disposed or retention categories; those specifics were not specified in the meeting record.

All motions were approved unanimously. The board chair indicated he will follow up on open questions about budget surpluses reported elsewhere on the agenda.
