Select Board reviews and updates internal financial-controls checklist
Summary
Board members reviewed edits to the internal controls checklist, discussed wording changes regarding the town clerk's duties, and agreed municipal policies used by government entities should be posted on the town website for transparency.
During the meeting members reviewed the internal financial-controls checklist and discussed wording changes to better reflect practice rather than statutory duties. The Chair said policies "should be on the website," arguing municipal policies used by a government entity ought to be publicly accessible.
Members agreed to update the document's header date to reflect April 27, 2026, clean up wording (for example, replacing a phrase that implied clerk duties were statutory), and circulate the revised checklist for signatures and publication. They also discussed removing author names and consolidating the content so it prints and reads clearly.
