Dalton Finance Looks to Form Contracts Subcommittee
By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The Finance Committee wants to create a subcommittee to review contracts presented to the town.
Chair William Drosehn brought up the idea to help bring focus to the many town contracts and should the committee be aware of them.
"This will be to review all of the contracts that are presented to us by the Select Board and our town manager," he said.
He noted how the committee had no input on use of the American Rescue Plan Act funds the last three years.
"The Finance Committee was supposed to be involved, and they kept us out of it completely. We had no say or no talk of what was going on with the relationship to ARPA funds," Drosehn said.
The committee determined the subcommittee be formed with four members, including Drosehn.
"I was hoping that I was going to be one of the volunteers for the committee, because the size of the job, having the chair seated on that committee is probably going to be a good thing, considering the size and scope of the work that needs to be done," he said.
