Selectman asks for clearer accounting of borrowed investment funds in budget
Summary
During the budget discussion, Selectman Sandy Fortin asked that amounts borrowed from the town's investment accounts be listed separately and suggested raising sinking funds and collecting budget-member information.
At the Selectmen meeting, Sandy Fortin requested that the town's budget show borrowed amounts drawn from investment accounts as separate line items so that those obligations are clearer to budget reviewers. Fortin also urged that sinking funds be raised and that the town collect information from budget committee members to improve future planning.
The minutes record Fortin's request but do not list specific dollar amounts or a timetable for implementing the requested reporting change. The item was entered as budget discussion rather than a formal motion or vote.
