Finance Committee · Meeting of August 19, 2026
Plymouth's Finance Committee voted 10-3 to push for a second independent audit of its school cafeteria program after a decade-long theft scheme. Assistant Superintendent Adam Blaisdell said the district has spent roughly $60,000 centralizing payroll, HR and equipment tracking after Clifton Larson Allen's audit found the cafeteria operated as an organizational "silo." The fund posted $4.9 million in revenue against $4.8 million in expenses in fiscal 2026. Myles Ramey, Maria Reitman and Mark Snyder voted against the follow-up audit; Reitman argued "by accepting the funds, you are also accepting a stewardship responsibility." The committee also unanimously advanced two Fall Town Meeting bylaw articles, moving demolition-delay oversight to the Historical Commission and dissolving the Plymouth County Outreach revolving fund.
