Treasurer reports $9,158.92 checking balance; committee questions $25,000 perpetual-care CD
Summary
The commissioners reviewed the treasurer's report showing $9,158.92 in checking and discussed a $25,000 perpetual-care CD; members noted past higher fund totals and asked for clarification on availability of interest and past withdrawals.
At the treasurer's report, Chair (S3) presented account figures showing a checking balance of $9,158.92 and noted a $25,000 certificate of deposit categorized as a perpetual‑care fund. Committee members raised questions about whether interest from that CD can be used for operating expenses and why the perpetual fund appears to be smaller than remembered from previous years.
One committee member said they recalled the perpetual fund previously being around $66,000–$70,000 and asked, "So where'd the other 40,000 go?" Chair (S3) and others agreed the discrepancy requires follow‑up; the committee discussed contacting state or town contacts and checking records to confirm the history and current restrictions on perpetual‑care funds.
