Resident asks about fire department sinking fund; asks whether board can act on water and sewer
Summary
During public comment Selectman J. Jacobs asked where the fire department sinking fund had gone and questioned whether the town attorney had told the board it could not take action on water and sewer matters.
During the public comment period at the July 28 Selectmen meeting, J. Jacobs asked where the fire department sinking fund had gone and asked whether the town attorney had said the board could not take any action regarding water and sewer. The minutes record the question but do not record an answer, a motion, or further discussion on the point.
The minutes do not identify the town attorney by name nor include documentation of the attorney’s advice. The record does not show any follow-up assignment or financial reconciliation presented at the meeting to account for the sinking fund. No vote or directive on water and sewer authority was recorded.
Because the minutes only record the question and not a response or supporting documents, the matter remains unresolved in this meeting record; the Selectmen may address the issue at a subsequent meeting or through staff follow‑up.
