Summary
The Select Board voted to recommend two warrant articles for the Aug. 18 special town meeting, including a payroll-vendor item; members discussed budget-committee participation and agreed to send department budget templates with a Sept. 30 deadline.
The Select Board voted to recommend two articles on the August 18 special town meeting warrant, including approval of a payroll services contract and related administrative items. A motion to recommend articles 3 and 4 was made, seconded and approved by the board.
Board members emphasized the need for the budget committee to review materials and discussed practicalities for the coming budget season, including whether the budget committee should be reconstituted and the mechanics of allowing remote participation in exceptional circumstances. The board asked staff to distribute department budget templates immediately and set a September 30 deadline for returns, with biweekly reminder emails.
On the payroll vendor, the board heard from the payroll point person (Courtney) about training and implementation logistics; Courtney said she would be the point person for department heads and would schedule individual training sessions. The board approved recommending the payroll article to the special town meeting and directed staff to prepare warrant materials for publication.
