Select Board approves $818,435.93 warrant and reviews payroll, street-sweeping costs and postage inventory
Summary
The board approved warrant 02270227 for $818,435.93, received a biweekly payroll report showing $152,611.28, and discussed questions from members about a high street-sweeping line item and unused postage inventory.
The Select Board approved warrant 02270227 in the amount of $818,435.93 and received the biweekly payroll through July 19 showing $152,611.28. The chair called for motions and the items passed by voice vote.
Board members asked questions about specific line items. One member asked whether the town had done more street sweeping this year; staff explained the town does not own a street sweeper and had contracted work or rented equipment, which increased costs. Another board member asked about "unused postage inventory" listed on the warrant; staff said the town uses a postage meter that is prepaid monthly and that an apparent postage expense reflects prepaid meter purchases rather than stamps left unused.
The items were approved and the chair noted these operational questions will be followed up by staff.
