"the council receives fewer and fewer recommendations"
Scott McIntyre, a certified public accountant for Melanson Heath & Co., said unlike some of his clients, Franklin was fiscally stable in 2009.
"I think it's a very good report," McIntyre said.
He told the council that the reports didn't show a significant shift from fiscal 2008 numbers, including the town's general fund, which recorded a $3.4 million balance.
"I haven't been able to say that about all my clients," he said.Read the full article in the Franklin Gazette here

K. TOWN ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
L. OLD BUSINESS
regionalization of dispatch?
Nutting - no change in recent months
M. NEW BUSINESS
none
N. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Powderly - concern about the roads given the weather condition, the DPW is working the issue, there are some limitations with what can be done (can't patch in the rain).
Jones - thanks to Davis Thayer, I presented the scoreboard to them today
Thanks to Karen Spilka who held a session at the Senior Center
then we went to Dolce Express to do a ribbon cutting for their new effort at the Train Station
Vallee - we should do an engineering plan for RT 140, whoever does that is usually inline for state funds, etc.
Whalen - do towns bond for road repairs?
Nutting - you can bond for a new road for 10 years, you can only do for road repair for 5 years, so by the time its done you'd be better off paying cash.
O. EXECUTIVE SESSION – Negotiations, Litigation, Real Property, as May Be Required
not required
P. ADJOURN
motion approved 8-0
