The Town of Hubbardston Open Space Committee accepted the circulated minutes and reviewed current finances at its regular meeting.

Speaker 5 moved to accept the minutes and Speaker 1 seconded; members responded “aye.” The treasurer said they had not completed year‑end reconciliations but reported the rider fund was unchanged (transcript reference “04/2532”), the Hub preservation balance was reported near “18002 23 67 cents,” and the open‑space donation account previously held “38904.” The treasurer said they will verify and circulate final numbers before the end of the year.

Committee members discussed two invoices submitted for beach tree treatment by Tim. The treasurer noted the invoices totaled $214.50 (transcript format) and that the open‑space balance after the payments was reported in the transcript as “1.74 54.” Members agreed not to draw on the rider fund until they identify a replenishment plan.

No further formal actions on budgets or contracts were taken at the meeting; the committee set follow‑up tasks for staff to circulate contract proposal drafts and final account figures ahead of the next meeting.

The committee scheduled a likely January meeting (discussion favored Jan. 8) before adjourning.
