Budget and Finance Advisory Committee approves minutes, reassigns co‑chairs
Summary
The North Kingstown Budget and Finance Advisory Committee approved minutes from May and June 2025 and voted to remove Dr. Dua as co‑chair, replacing co‑chair duties with appointments for 'Lehi' and 'Powell.' All motions were approved by voice vote.
The North Kingstown Budget and Finance Advisory Committee on Nov. 3 approved minutes from its May 13 and June 25, 2025 meetings and voted to change its co‑chair assignments.
At the start of the session, Chair Sherry Kennedy asked for a motion to approve minutes for the two prior meetings; a motion and second were recorded and the committee voted in favor, the meeting transcript records. Later the committee moved to reassign co‑chair responsibilities. Chair Kennedy said the committee would remove Dr. Dua from co‑chair duties so he could remain a member without the organizational obligations of the role; that motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Chair Kennedy then moved to appoint "Lehi" and "Powell" as co‑chairs of the Budget and Finance Advisory Committee; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The meeting record does not provide full names or roles for "Lehi," and the transcript identifies "Powell" in context as Leslie O'Powell, director of finance.
Motions recorded in the meeting were carried by voice vote with members responding "Aye." The committee then moved into quarterly financial reports and discussion led by Director of Finance Leslie O'Powell.
The committee's next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 1; this committee adjourned at about 5:30 p.m.
