Residents urge Selectboard to fund transition support for new treasurer
Summary
During public comment, residents welcomed the new treasurer and urged the Selectboard to hire an outside expert or consultant to assist with onboarding and to smooth the budget process ahead of the next cycle.
Residents used the retreat public-comment slot to welcome the town’s incoming treasurer and press the Selectboard to fund outside support for a smoother transition. Lori Johnson said she was pleased the Town hired a new treasurer and recommended hiring an expert to assist during the handover; Vicky Ross (online) seconded the suggestion, naming local consultants and noting one potential consultant’s spouse is a CPA who handles accounting engagements.
Johnson urged the board to improve the budget process to make the next cycle smoother; Ross asked that reports be updated before budget work and suggested consulting auditors about reserve-handling practices. The board agreed the retreat discussion would help and tasked Town Administrator Tommy O’Connor with follow-up.
