Greenland board hears financial-system conversion, phone-system plans; approves veteran credits and consent agenda
Summary
Selectmen were briefed on an MRI financial system conversion with an accounts-payable rollout targeted for July 1, reviewed cloud-phone options, and approved the assessor’s recommendations for veterans’ tax credits and a consent agenda listing timber tax and accounts-payable items; some numeric figures in the audio transcript were unclear and flagged for follow-up.
Town staff updated the Greenland Board of Selectmen on June 2 that the town is progressing on a conversion to a new MRI financial platform and expects the accounts-payable portion to start after two or three more training sessions, with staff aiming for a July 1 start for the AP workflow.
"We're thinking the month of June, probably two or three more training sessions, and then July 1 will be the cutoff date to start," staff member S1 told the board.
The board also discussed replacing the town’s phone system. S1 presented preliminary quotes and said the town is considering a cloud-based web phone service; members raised questions about emergency-service routing and redundancy. S1 noted that emergency lines to Rockingham dispatch remain hardwired while other town and fire phone servers run separately.
On routine business the board approved the assessor’s recommended veterans’ tax credits after a motion and second; the transcript records the chair calling "All in favor?" and the response "Aye." The board then approved the consent agenda, which listed a timber tax item and an accounts-payable figure; the audio transcript presents the accounts-payable number in a way that was not fully clear in the recording and is flagged for clarification.
The finance-related reporting included an audit update in which a presenter described an ongoing PDA audit and said, "It's costing upwards of $86,006.75," a figure the Selectmen may consider when reviewing overlapping regional audits and capital planning.
The meeting moved to public comment and community announcements and later entered nonpublic session under RSA 91-A:3 II(a).
