Gene Besaw was present to discuss accounting questions with the Selectboard, Town Auditors and the Town Treasurer.

Mr. Besaw stated that revenues can be reported in the departments where they are raised. David asked Mr. Besaw for his comments on the accounting software Quick Books versus the specially designed software for Municipalities called NEMRC. Mr. Besaw replied that NEMRC would generate all the reports needed and that it would be easier for Town and independent auditors to review the accounts.

Mr. Besaw stated the Greg’s reports will give the Board a good monthly report on the town’s financials.

David asked Greg to review the C&D tonnage and tipping fees.

The Budget meeting ended at 3:50.

John reported that NEKWMD had asked for a key to the Transfer Station so they could pick up trash/recycling when they are in the area and not have to make a special appointment.

Nancy moved and David seconded to give NEKWMD a key to the Transfer Station as long as there was no major opposition from the Transfer Station Manager. Motion passed.

John said there would be a special Selectboard meeting Jan 31 at 3: PM at Attorney Davis office to discuss Tower Lane’s Road reclassification.

Nancy reviewed her upcoming testimony to the Public Service Board regarding the proposed UPC Wind Turbine development.

At 7:00PM, David moved and Nancy seconded to adjourn. Motion passed.
