Sandi Pierson is back from a five-day backpacking trip and wrote up a report on the welfare officer issue. We'll summarize it here and put the full text on the discussion board. You may have read the draft already; she sent it out as a reply to the chain of emails sent to many town residents.
According to Sandi:
- During the Select Board meeting, the Board voted to reimburse Pat Mercer for food expenses but not for credit card interest.
- Two of Pat's vouchers for a shopping trip stated an expense of $244 for "food."
- The voucher Sandi was getting ready also listed "food" as the expense but requested $320. This larger amount apparently included credit card interest as well as other items.
- Sandi apparently emailed the Board, and one of the members told her the voucher would have to be rewritten at the next meeting.
- Sandi immediately emailed Pat about the inaccuracy in the vouchers and expressed regret about the delay.
Again, you can read Pat's full email on the discussion board. Feel free to comment below or, if you're a member of this site, add your own two cents to the board.
