40
00:05:06.730 --> 00:05:11.340
Town of Plainfield: I don't know if that's a thing we do or not. No, okay.

41
00:05:12.490 --> 00:05:25.920
Town of Plainfield: No, I just started talking and said, here we are, so… Totally fine with it. Yeah, here we are. So our, loan agenda item is, granting power of attorney to

42
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:34.489
Town of Plainfield: Cynthia Stoddard, and, this has to do with the work that, NEMRIC is doing, New England Municipal Resource

43
00:05:34.490 --> 00:05:41.539
Town of Plainfield: center, for us under the block services agreement, basically.

44
00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:49.350
Town of Plainfield: along with the CPA firm, Bonnie Batchelder, Batch Elder Associates.

45
00:05:49.350 --> 00:06:07.439
Town of Plainfield: dealing with straightening out all our Treasury issues, charts of accounts, and stuff like that. These particular powers of attorney, one is for the IRS, and the other for the state of Vermont is basically to deal with our withholding accounts, so that those can be reconciled.

46
00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:09.270
Town of Plainfield: And,

47
00:06:09.740 --> 00:06:28.409
Town of Plainfield: So, those would be the W-2s, W3s, 941s, unemployment insurance, that type of stuff. So, I would entertain a motion to grant Cynthia Stoddard power of attorney for the state, and IRS accounts.

48
00:06:28.590 --> 00:06:31.180
Town of Plainfield: I'll make that note. This is payroll.

49
00:06:31.290 --> 00:06:32.669
Town of Plainfield: I will second.

50
00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:38.630
Town of Plainfield: Karen moves, and Andy seconds. Is there any further discussion?

51
00:06:39.390 --> 00:06:48.380
Town of Plainfield: So, tell me again, this is for the state and federal tax accounts? Yeah, tax accounts, yep, for payroll reporting.

52
00:06:53.260 --> 00:06:57.130
TammyFarnham: So, can I quickly just ask a quick question on that power of attorney?

53
00:06:57.130 --> 00:07:04.110
Town of Plainfield: To discuss any further than that? No, I understand what that is. Yeah, and I'm glad we're able to do this.

54
00:07:04.610 --> 00:07:09.080
Town of Plainfield: Yes, it's necessary, so there have been… syrup.

55
00:07:09.380 --> 00:07:21.429
Town of Plainfield: Well, some of the… I know when I was in helping Carol with stuff a couple weeks ago, the state reports were overdue, and so, there's no way that Cynthia can go in and

56
00:07:21.430 --> 00:07:30.040
Town of Plainfield: determine whether they've all been filed and filed correctly, but we know that there have been checks written to the state that aren't being credited to the account, because

57
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:36.929
Town of Plainfield: they were not written to the correct account, and so… I guess what I was asking, Peter, was the…

58
00:07:36.950 --> 00:07:38.620
Town of Plainfield: the,

59
00:07:39.570 --> 00:07:56.159
Town of Plainfield: that the power of attorney, is there a deadline on that power? Is there a date that expires, or is that just goes on? I don't believe there is an expiration date on it, but it's for a specific purpose. Okay. So, which is the payroll and the dates, 2024 and 2025 quarters. Oh, great.

60
00:07:57.840 --> 00:08:04.209
Town of Plainfield: Yeah, you can grant power of attorney narrowly, broadly, etc. Gotcha. Right? Sounds good.

61
00:08:04.430 --> 00:08:06.019
Town of Plainfield: Any further discussion?

62
00:08:06.190 --> 00:08:14.629
Town of Plainfield: All right, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? So, let the record show that it passed 3-0.

63
00:08:14.930 --> 00:08:17.389
Town of Plainfield: And is there any further business?

64
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:34.939
Town of Plainfield: I have no business. Nothing to offer here. I would entertain a motion to adjourn. I will move to adjourn. Second. It's moved and seconded. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? And we have adjourned. 3-0. Thanks for coming to see us!

65
00:08:35.549 --> 00:08:36.500
