Resident asks Board to revise May 27 minutes, questions treasurer increase and transparency
Summary
At the June 10 meeting, resident Stephanie Thompson requested revision of the May 27 minutes and raised concerns that a $15,000 allocation was recorded incorrectly and that the treasurer received a 22% increase rather than the 7% approved by town vote; the Board approved the minutes as presented.
Stephanie Thompson, a member of the public attending the Sterling Board of Finance meeting on June 10, asked the board to revise the May 27 minutes, saying she believed a $15,000 allocation was recorded incorrectly. Thompson also raised concern that the treasurer had received a 22% pay increase rather than the 7% approved by the town vote and said the issue lacked transparency.
The Board discussed a motion to approve the May 6, May 13 and May 27, 2026 minutes. Board member David Malo moved to approve the minutes "as presented"; Peter Rabbitt seconded. The board approved the motion on a 4-0 voice vote.
The minutes record the public comment and the board's subsequent approval. The transcript does not record a board decision to reopen or alter the May 27 minutes beyond the motion to approve; the citizen's request to revise those minutes therefore remains a public comment noted in the record rather than a formally adopted correction.
