Resident asks where fire department sinking fund went; says attorney advised board cannot act on water and sewer
Summary
During public comment J. Jacobs asked where the fire department sinking fund went and requested noting that the town attorney told the board it cannot act on water and sewer issues, raising questions about authority and funding.
At the July 28 meeting resident J. Jacobs used the public comment period to ask about the status of the fire department sinking fund and to note legal guidance on utilities. Jacobs asked, "Where did the fire department sinking fund go. Can we add that the town attorney said that the Board can not do anything about the water and sewer?"
The minutes record the question but do not show a response or follow-up action by the Selectmen. The comment raises a funding question for the fire department and a governance question about the board's authority over water and sewer matters, which may require staff follow-up or a request for written attorney guidance.
