The Board reviewed a Recreation Fundraiser Form. The Recreation Department was looking to spend $1,400 with an anticipated revenue of $400. The board questioned why they would want to spend $1400 to only make $400. Kelly Trammel mentioned that there might have been an unfamiliarity in filling out the fundraiser form. Trammel suggested asking whoever filled out the form for some clarification of what they are looking to do. Tadd Baily made a comment that the signs did not hold up too well at the Recreation Department due to the weather. Chairperson Marquis said he was not going to sign the fundraiser form until they know more about it. Trammell mentioned that our next Selectmen Meeting will not be until after the Rec. Department has their fundraiser. Selectmen Greer said he would follow up with the Rec. Department before then. Selectmen Greer then decided to call Donna Goettler with the Rec. Department. She was not available to speak, so Greer left her a voice mail to call him back. Later in the meeting at 5:39pm, Donna returned Greer’s phone call. Donna explained what the $1,400 was for, and that it was for the whole event, and that they expect to spend that amount. They are having a 50/50 raffle donation jar, and a food truck.

Kelly Trammel brought up the budget schedule. Trammel mentioned that the budget scheduling is coming up, and that last year, it started in October, and was weekly. Trammel asked the board if they wanted to keep that same schedule this year. The Selectboard agreed that the schedule will stay the same as it was last year. Selectperson Greer mentioned that he is taking a class on September 19th about budgeting through the NH Municipal Association. A discussion was had about the cost and how the process works for Greer to get reimbursed. Chairperson Marquis will also be attending the same class with Selectperson Greer. Administrative Assistant, Megan Wells will sign both up for the class.

A discussion was had about the tax rate setting information. Last year the schools received money, and they had a meeting for the tax setting. Schools were told to “pump the breaks” and that they must special meetings going forward, before spending. Kelly Trammel mentioned that this may end up being a concern for the Town’s money flow as it may cause the Town to be in a revenue pinch.

Discussion was had regarding an update on the Police Cruiser. There is a possibility of extending the warrant article until January of next year.
