Selectmen seek joint review after questions about trustee of trust funds' record-keeping

During general business the board discussed concerns about record keeping and meeting frequency by the trustee of trust funds. Chair (Speaker 1) said last night he suggested a joint meeting with the trustees to review records and improve processes to ensure legal compliance and transparency.

Committee member (Speaker 2) requested an update on revenue and expenses for the last fiscal quarter to better understand the town's bottom line and the potential tax-impact of current spending. Members noted that the PO system provides the clearest view of outstanding balances and asked staff to present the revenue/expense breakdown at the next selectmen meeting.

The board directed staff to schedule a joint meeting with the trustee of trust funds and to prepare a concise revenue-and-expense report for selectmen review.
