FM #394 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 394 in the series.
This session shares the Finance Committee meeting held on Tuesday, Nov 17, 2020.
The meeting was conducted in a hybrid format: members of the Finance Committee and Town Administration personnel were in the Council Chambers, the public was remote via Zoom conference bridge, all to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.
Quick Recap:
- The Finance Committee gets an update on the Beaver St interceptor, effectively a shorter and concise review of what the Town Council received at their Oct 21, 2020 meeting.
- The finance options are expected to be ready in January 2021. It is likely that the sewer rate payers will absorb the cost of the project as the sewer fee is user based. A better understanding of how much will be revealed in January.
- The balance of the meeting was discussion on topics for future meetings.
The show notes contain links to the meeting agenda and my notes.
