Select Board directs Melendi Pond legal expenses to pond revolving fund
Summary
The board approved a motion that legal expenses relating to Melendi Pond — including right‑to‑know matters and related counsel — will be paid from the Melendi Pond revolving fund; members clarified that the fund will cover such legal work regardless of which lawyer is engaged.
The Select Board voted to charge legal expenses associated with Melendi Pond matters to the Melendi Pond revolving fund. S9 read the motion: "Legal expenses, including right to no (sic) requests that relate to Melendi Pond review and advice will come out of the Melendi Pond revolving fund," and the board approved the change by voice vote.
Members clarified the scope should be broad and include legal advice and related matters tied to Melendi Pond; the board amended language to make the provision apply to "all legal expenses associated with Melendi Pond" and accepted that fund accounting would be handled from the existing revolving fund line. Staff will confirm coding and billing procedures so future invoices are charged correctly.
