Richard DeSorgher recently shared a list of things left undone by the selectmen at the time  he left.  I took his thoughtful list, and incorporated my own items, and came up with the below list of things I thought the selectmen should be looking to oversee to completion, which I organized around the town staff who should be doing the things.  My suggestion at our last BoS meeting, when I shared this list with my colleagues, was that these things get included in the Selectmen Annual Calendar, along with those things that the selectmen need to do every year, which I highlighted from past lists i included.  Mike is working on revising his draft of the Selectmen Annual Calendar – which I will post next.
