Gazebo committee working to transfer fund to town after banking document delays
Summary
Council heard that the gazebo committee intends to turn its funds over to the town for oversight but the transfer has been delayed by Webster Bank requesting historic documents, including a death certificate; committee members said they had organized minutes and paperwork for the town.
Council members reported two recent resignations from local committees and a gazebo-committee member explained efforts to transfer the gazebo maintenance fund into town oversight. The member said the gazebo committee planned to turn money over to the town and that the transfer was contingent on withdrawing funds from Webster Bank and placing them into Thomaston Bank where town funds are held.
The committee representative said Webster Bank had delayed action by requesting a death certificate for a former committee member who died years ago and had provided other obstacles; committee volunteers said they had organized minutes and paperwork and hoped to formalize the transfer once bank requirements were satisfied.
The council did not record a formal vote on the transfer during the meeting; the committee indicated it will complete paperwork and work with the town manager’s office to effect the transfer.
