SELECTMEN’S COMMENTS:

Selectman Headley brought up the possibility of replacing the slate roofs on municipal buildings with a faux slate roof as a potential long-term savings measure.

 

The Board agreed that they would like to meet with Robert DeFelice, Budget Chair to get a Committee update and discuss a contingency fund for minor but necessary town expenditures.  Selectman McManus brought up the need to acquire security cameras and other security measures for tax deeded property as an example of an unanticipated expense that the contingency fund could cover.   Selectman Baker suggested using monies slated for the salary contingency fund for those uses.

 

Selectman Baker suggested selling some of the granite foundation pieces on the Grist Mill parking site for revenue.

 

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:53 p.m.
