EXCUSED:

Review the outstanding action items contained in the memo dated November 12, 2025 as

forwarded by Finance Committee of the Twenty-seventh Town Council.

The Finance Committee reviewed the Outstanding/Unfinished Business as noted below:

(1) Schedule Joint Finance Committee Meetings between the Town Council & Board of

Education

(2) Quarterly discuss the receipt and distribution of the Opioid Settlement Funding

(3) Potential Grant Opportunities

(4) Follow-up on status of American Rescue Plan Act Projects/Funding (Projects to be

completed by December, 2026)

It was noted that at the end of its term the Town Council and its Subcommittees have

traditionally prepared a memo to forward outstanding items of business to the newly

elected incoming Town Council.

In accordance with Roberts Rules of Order:

"After each annual meeting in such case, the board elects new officers and committees,

the same as if the entire board had been re-elected.

All unfinished business falls to the ground when the new board is elected.

It is customary for the by-laws to require an annual report from the Board of Managers,

which usually gives a brief account of its doings for the year with recommendations for

the future."

Councilor Buhle noted that the Finance Committee would be discussing these items

further at their Regular Meeting scheduled for 5:00 this evening:

DISCUSSED
