Treasure reports balances; commissioners approve vendor payments, energy procurement service and several abatements
Summary
The board reviewed bank and trust balances, approved multiple vendor invoices (including Trihedral), authorized the treasurer to shop for electric rates, and approved parcel consolidations and abatements including the Fink refund.
Treasurer Todd Maddock reported the district’s financial position at the June 16 meeting: TD operating and money-market balances totaled $510,238.45 as of May 31, and the Trustees of the Trust Fund at BNH held $1,017,157.15. Commissioners approved a series of payments and administrative actions recorded below.
Trihedral invoice: Commissioners approved payment of a Trihedral invoice for $8,136 covering multi-year software upgrades after Commissioner Howard Epstein raised cybersecurity and upgrade needs. Howard moved to approve the payment; the motion passed unanimously.
Energy procurement authorization: An analysis presented by Mara Maddock estimated annual electricity savings of about $9,000 if the district used an alternative supplier. The board voted to authorize the treasurer to use Freedom Energy Logistics’ supplier-rate survey service and to permit the treasurer to select suppliers periodically based on the survey; the motion passed unanimously.
Parcel consolidations and abatements: The board approved administrative billing changes for several combined parcels so that single annual bills will be issued and the paired parcel will be abated: 3 and 9 Oakland Ave (billing to 9 Oakland), 33 and 37 Buckboard Drive (billing to 37 Buckboard), and 46 and 52 Sagamore Road (billing to 52 Sagamore). All three motions passed 4-0. Separately, the board ordered the abatement and refund for 24 Overlook Ridge (Fink Family Trust) after concluding the property is not connected to the district.
Other recorded actions: The board approved May 19 and June 9 minutes (each passed unanimously), accepted Zoom as the standard meeting access method for public and staff participation, and noted clerk recruitment will continue following a resignation. The meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m.
