Selectboard moves to executive session to finish payroll calculations
Summary
Bakersfield Selectboard said payroll and payroll-related percentages remained the last outstanding items in the FY2027 draft; the board entered executive session to discuss personnel/payroll detail and later returned to confirm final totals.
The Bakersfield Selectboard agreed payroll was the remaining unresolved line in both the town and road budgets and moved into executive session to discuss personnel-related payroll calculations.
"We go to executive to discuss payroll slash" said Committee member (S3) as they made the motion; the motion was seconded by Committee member (S2) and the Chair (S1) recorded the board entering executive session at 06:09. Members said the session was required to consider personnel and payroll percentages such as Medicare and Social Security calculations that staff needed to finalize the book.
After the closed session the board returned to the open meeting to incorporate the finalized numbers into the budget book. Chair (S1) later reported Tom had brought finalized town operating numbers, with the town operating total reported as $421,509. The board instructed staff to place the updated figures in the budget book for Kathy to post and prepare for the next meeting.
Members did not record any formal votes or personnel decisions in the public transcript during the closed session; the meeting record only reflects the motion to enter and the time stamps for entering and exiting the executive session.
