Town manager reports system rollout, staffing milestones and diesel contract uncertainty
Summary
The town manager updated the board on staff service anniversaries, the Trivecto accounting system rollout (three payables processed), a tentative public‑works bargaining agreement, a wastewater laborer’s resignation effective July 30, and an unpriced diesel supply situation that could affect budgets.
The town manager used the regular report to highlight staff milestones, operational changes and a potential budget risk tied to fuel pricing.
The manager congratulated multiple employees on service anniversaries, noting Steve Kaiser has served 40 years as code enforcement officer and James Kiernan has 26 years as public‑works foreman. On the town's new accounting system, the manager said, "we've now processed 2 payables warrants in the new system. Actually, as of this afternoon, it's 3," and that staff will begin importing historical data next week.
On labor negotiations, the manager said a tentative agreement with the Teamsters public‑works unit is near completion but the police union has not returned to the table. The manager also announced wastewater laborer Jacob Thomas submitted his resignation effective July 30 and the vacancy will be posted next week.
The report closed with a caution on fuel: the manager said the town has no fixed contract for diesel (it "is paying rack until further notice"), and that volatility in fuel prices could push budgets over their current projections.
