Board approves consent agenda, balance sheet and payments; seals executive-session minutes

At the meeting the chair moved to accept the consent agenda and members approved the motion by voice vote after a second. The chair later asked for and recorded a motion to accept the superintendent's report; that vote was recorded as unanimous. "All in favor? Aye," a member responded during the roll call on the superintendent's acceptance.

The board then considered the balance sheet and account-balance report; the chair described the transition to a new chart-of-accounts in anticipation of moving to the town's finance platform and noted that some individual lines may be over- or under-expended as staff reconcile accounts. Members discussed collections and recent terminations; a motion to approve the balance sheet and account balance report was made and approved by voice vote.

The board approved direct payments and payables; members affirmed there were no further questions for the finance director. A motion to accept abatements was also moved and approved.

Later in the meeting the board voted to seal the minutes of the executive session; a motion to seal was seconded and carried. The meeting adjourned following a motion to adjourn.

Next steps: routine financial oversight will continue; staff will reconcile account lines as the town transitions accounting systems and return any needed reallocations at future meetings.
