Board names Alicia Stratford as primary check signer, Connie Holt as cosigner
Summary
As part of the treasurer transition, the Townsend Select Board approved designating new authorized check signers: Alicia Stratford as primary signer and Connie Holt as secondary cosigner; the decision aims to reduce signer redundancy and potential conflict-of-interest concerns.
The Townsend Select Board voted March 10 to designate Alicia Stratford as the town’s primary check signer with Connie Holt named as a cosigner as the board transitions to a new treasurer. The motion to assign signers was made by a board member and seconded; the board approved the change by voice vote.
Board members discussed reducing the total number of authorized signers and ensuring a signer outside the treasurer’s immediate department to avoid potential conflicts. Stratford, the newly seated treasurer, said the transition week has involved switching accounts and logins and that she is “very happy to be here.” The board asked staff to complete municipal banking forms and to update signer lists with the bank.
