Town Manager reports staffing, trainings and an estimated $30,000 forensic-audit cost; mutual aid with Gouldsboro signed
Summary
Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb reported staff trainings, a clerk certification test date, that a forensic audit would cost at least $30,000 (recommended only if problems with the yearly audit), and that a Mutual Aid Agreement with Gouldsboro Fire Department is being signed.
Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb reported several administrative and operational updates at the July 14 Selectmen meeting: two staff members were signed up for mandatory trainings including a two‑day session at the end of August, she plans to take a certified clerk test at the end of July, and the town is moving forward to sign a Mutual Aid Agreement with Gouldsboro Fire Department.
On auditing, Liscomb said the auditor indicated a forensic audit would cost at least $30,000 and recommended a forensic audit only if there is a problem identified with the yearly audit. The minutes record the estimate but no motion or appropriation for a forensic audit was made.
Liscomb also clarified that the town has no authority over the water or sewer districts referenced in her report and noted 30 notices have been sent (the minutes do not provide further context on the notices). The personnel policy was discussed and Liscomb was tasked with making changes for a vote at the next meeting.
During public comment, R. Arnett asked, "Could we get new woodchips for the playground?" and D. Young said, "Thank you for mowing." These remarks were recorded with no formal action attached.
The meeting adjourned at 7:31 p.m. and the minutes were respectfully submitted by Sara J. Liscomb, Town Manager.
