OLD BUSINESS:

 

Mr. Phelps has done some research on how some CPC communities process the funding of projects after the funding has been approved. He handed out copies of a possible procedure for the Committee to review (SEE ATTACHMENT A).  Questions asked where:

How Funds were awarded. How contracts were processed by the Town Accountant. Has the work been completed? Expenditure Invoices.   

 

Mr. Whalley requested that a meeting with the Finance Committee meeting be set for a discussion of the North Pond Project. Some Committee members discussed the appraisal of the North Pond property.
