Public comment: question on fire department sinking fund; attorney guidance on water and sewer authority noted
Summary
During public comment, J. Jacobs asked where the fire department sinking fund went and noted the town attorney advised the board that it cannot act on water and sewer matters.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, J. Jacobs asked where the fire department sinking fund had gone and requested that the record reflect the issue. Jacobs also said the town attorney had advised that the Selectmen "cannot do anything about the water and sewer," a legal-jurisdiction point the minutes record without attribution to a named attorney.
The comment raised questions about the sinking fund’s status and jurisdictional limits on the board’s authority over water and sewer. The minutes do not record a response from the board or a follow-up action; the item was entered for the record and may require later clarification or staff follow-up.
