Summary

The Select Board voted to extend the town's one-year contract with CBIZ for accounting services and amended the motion to specifically name Elizabeth Braccia as the town accountant, pending town council approval.

The board approved a one-year extension of the CBIZ advisory contract that provides accounting services to the town and amended the motion to specifically name Elizabeth Braccia as town accountant.

A staff member described the arrangement as valuable given budget constraints and praised Elizabeth Braccia’s service to the town: “Elizabeth Braccia...doing a wonderful job,” the staff member said. A motion to extend CBIZ’s contract for one year pending council approval was made and then amended to explicitly name Braccia; the amendment was seconded and the board approved the action by roll-call vote.

The approval is conditional on town council review and any required legal oversight; the board did not discuss specific contract dollar amounts or a change in service level during the public session.
