BELLOWS FALLS â The Rockingham Select Board and Bellows Falls Village Trustees took their first steps Tuesday evening to address the financial mess left behind by former Finance Director Shannon Burbela.
At the suggestion of Municipal Manager Scott Pickup, the two boards, meeting jointly Tuesday evening, established a new finance committee to work with Pickup on the financial issues, as well as find a new finance director.
Pickup said the town and village needed to âre-establish baseline credibility.â
The town and village have brought in the New England Management Resource Center to help sort through the extensive problems uncovered in the finances, which extend from balancing its bank accounts to misfiled and miscategorized revenue and expenses, lack of correct tax status, and overcharged credit card fees.
