Fellow Residents of Charlestown,
Spend your Valentines Night with the Charlestown Town
Council to show your love for the town!
Who needs flowers and chocolates? Tune in to the council
meeting and watch as:
·
the
Town Auditors try to explain where the "missing" $3 Million went,
·
the
Budget Commission tries to convince us that we need an Unassigned Fund
Balance (surplus) of 33% of our Town's Budget, a/k/a $10 Million, as part
of a proposed (much needed) Fund Balance Policy,
·
the
3 CCA Town Council members refuse to give good reasons for voting to remove
items placed on the Council Meeting Agenda by Deb Carney!!
·
Deb
calls for a forensic audit into "missing" $3 Million Dollars and
the 3 CCA Town Council members say 'forensic' was too insulting a
word,
·
the
3 CCA Town Council members try to explain why an independent study of how
the $3 million "went missing" is not a good idea.
All kidding aside, these are important times for our Town
and we need to get involved in these meetings and voice our
opinions. Tell the Council you
·
want
a proper investigation into the $3 million dollars,
·
want
a proper fund balance policy instead of the Budget Commission's
proposal,
·
think
food trucks at Ninigret Park during events is a good idea,
·
think
maybe a Town Council member living next to Ninigret Park has a conflict of
interest for Ninigret Park matters,
·
would
like an alternative to the now canceled Rhythm and Roots,
·
want
the Council to act in public, and
·
want
each Council member to be allowed to place any matters they choose on the
Agenda for public discussion!
And then eat the chocolates!
Town Council meetings are only available online - information here.
(If the state changes the public meeting rules before the
meeting, this meeting may change to in-person only or hybrid, virtual and
in-person. We suggest checking the Town website and the Virtual Town Meetings page before the meeting.)
