An Important Budget Committee Meeting On October 6

The Budget Committee will be meeting on Thursday, October 6 in the Elementary School Library at 7:00 to discuss the Utility budgets. At this meeting the committee will meet with the Electric Department's auditor, Jack Harding. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the Electric Department's financial reporting and accounting practices. At their last meeting, the Budget Committee questioned the way in which the department accounts for its revenues and expenses, and the Electric Department responded that they follow the recommendations of their auditor. Ultimately, what is important to the townspeople is that we all have a clear understanding of Electric Department's finances. The same holds true of the other departments in town as well. While the utilities have a different financial situation than other town departments, all departments should be following the same accounting practices.
