Gift Agreement Edgewood Development –

The BOS decided to hold Edgewood Development to their contract with the Town. $37,500 in money or services is owed to the Town of Templeton. The $37,500 question is how to secure the funding and where the funding should go. The consensus of the BOS was that this money should go to the Common Improvement Committee for an engineered design of the Common. Once an engineered design for the Common is complete, then the process of securing grants for the Common Improvement can begin.

Cook Pond Estates  - Taking of Roads

After much discussion and review of Templeton’s legal counsel, the board members present (Mr. Robinson recused himself) voted to accept the roads in deed and exclude the rounding easements.

FY 15 Budget Recommendations –

After a lengthy (1 hour long) presentation by the Advisory board, some recommendations were made on the FY 15 budget. The BOS took the information under advisement.

There will many future discussions on how to proceed to fill the budget shortfall for FY 14 and create a budget for FY 15.

Selectman Comments-

Chairman Bennett gave a good summary on what occurred to create the $505,000 shortfall for FY 14. (See part 4 of the video)
