NHERI finance subcommittee approves two invoices and two sets of minutes

The NHERI Building Committee finance subcommittee met Feb. 28 and approved two sets of minutes and two vendor invoices during a short administrative session that began at 1:01 p.m.

Andrew, a finance subcommittee member, moved to approve the Jan. 24 and Feb. 10 meeting minutes “as presented.” Mark, a finance subcommittee member, seconded the motion. The committee approved the minutes by roll-call vote with Andrew, Mark, Lucas and Cook recorded as voting “aye.”

The committee then considered two invoices. Andrew moved to approve Skanska invoice number 1323833-000-14; the speaker read the amount as “64, 80” in the transcript. Mark seconded the motion and the committee recorded aye votes; the transcript does not provide a clear numeric dollar amount for that Skanska invoice. The committee approved Arrowstreet invoice number 729940 in the amount of $96,500 after a second and roll-call aye votes were recorded.

Committee members briefly reviewed budget tracking and cost projection language. One participant asked, “Still okay with our $9.50 budget?” and another responded, “Yep,” indicating the presenters said the project remains within its tracked budget; the transcript does not clarify whether “$9.50” reflects a transcription error or shorthand and does not specify the intended budget figure.

No members of the public spoke during the meeting; the chair asked whether there was anyone in the audience and was told there was none. After the administrative items, the committee moved to adjourn.

The session lasted only a few minutes, and committee members spent the meeting on routine approvals rather than substantive policy discussion or project decisions.
