The treasurer said there will likely be no overlap for training with the new hire and that Diane will oversee the September meeting.

This matters because the treasurer/collector is the town official responsible for receiving and disbursing municipal funds; an interim appointment affects who is the point of contact for finance matters until a permanent replacement is in place.

The treasurer/collector said, \"I am. I am. I'm headed over to the school,\" and described the departure as \"bittersweet.\" She told colleagues that \"Diane, the assistant treasure collector, most likely will be the point of contact\" and later added that Diane \"has been here for, I think, almost 4 almost 30 years.\" The treasurer also said the town expects Diane to oversee the September meeting because \"most likely, we won't have a new treasurer collector by that point.\"

Billy, the meeting chair, responded, \"You know, I've I've worked with Diane plenty, and I'm sure it'll be great. She does a good job.\" The transcript records no formal appointment during the meeting; the treasurer described an internal expectation that Diane will act in the role until a new hire is in place.

Next steps: the town will await the hiring process to fill the treasurer/collector position; until then staff and meeting participants will treat Diane as the point of contact for treasurer-related needs. The transcript does not specify a formal interim appointment vote or a timeline for the hiring process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Commissioners of Trust Funds 07/31/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The town's treasurer/collector announced she is leaving for a school job and said Assistant Treasurer/Collector Diane, with nearly 30 years' service, will be the acting treasurer for the September meeting until a new treasurer/collector is hired.","taxTitle","Town of Needham, Norfolk County, Massachusetts","taxId",54445,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6147068,"Town approves library invoice batch; staff to finish digital signatures",196,124845,321040,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5522564-b639a99840bdf1758edf161f7e8ca971&start=124&end=321","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5522564-b639a99840bdf1758edf161f7e8ca971/thumbnail_124845.jpg","/articles/6147068/Town-of-Needham/Norfolk-County/Massachusetts/Town-approves-library-invoice-batch-staff-to-finish-digital-signatures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6147068-c63b2c521a4523aad5fc16068dc7d6a0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770576623&Signature=fyixyD1dmGPDCQj4dV7owAuuQObkGgk3vR4XhWhvFl7nGAx6soguNQrLt17I1It1PYGEudp1I8fAjwz1-b-cTgOzvwHaYwJvWJ5KwNJhh1yOj6-1wAd1u0iRIv31BlXMEO1SCcytpxGFlxwHCSscH72w~IqanmRaOa0S3hacJ8HL-Vtkr2ga9jSmGbEWl8FE69qrfyRsQufqFqM1bQO0qLA-erbQ0IlrBTQ1e7TZEah2tRN9HhxIFyquVN1K59uDV4NQyaK91JGH8DAqRCClky3qOhMI18MIiPK9a1GR3uAV~Fog337Oyz7ejarUQ7CfdLWvssj~tQjTSPH63-JWbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a Town of Needham meeting, officials approved payment of a batch of library invoices, including invoices filed under accounting batch that references invoice 8125. The motion to approve the batch was made on the record and approved by voice vote.

The batch approval matters because it authorizes immediate payment for library expenses and triggers the paperwork required to complete vendor payments. Meeting participants confirmed the batch included a single invoice bundle with multiple backup invoices attached.

Billy, the meeting chair, opened consideration by saying, \"I'll entertain a motion to approve payment of this batch.\" Andrew, a board member, said, \"Yeah. I'll make the motion to approve the batch,\" and the chair recorded the voice vote; the chair then announced, \"Batch is approved.\" The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or identify additional individual votes beyond those spoken on the record.

Officials discussed logistics for completing signatures. The batch cover page shows a blue signature where Rob had signed, and staff agreed to exchange the documents via DocuSign. The meeting chair instructed staff to send the documents electronically and confirmed someone present would set up the DocuSign envelope so signatures could be added to the cover page.

Next steps: staff will send the batch cover page and backup via DocuSign and return the signed document to the town file. The meeting record does not specify dates for final transmission or payment posting.","At a Town of Needham meeting, officials approved a single batch of library invoices (invoice listing including invoice 8125) by voice vote and directed staff to complete electronic signatures via DocuSign.","actionData","errors"]
