Whether or not the town feels the sum of $540.00 is a small premium to provide a double check that all cash is properly accounted for is a matter for the voters to de- cide. An article will be included in the warrant for the voters to make this decision.


Contracts : £ Among the duties of a town accountant is the responsibility of custody of all contracts of the town, including a register of the sureties on all bonds of indem- nity given to the town. Our present system provides no central control of this very important function. Each de- partment handles its own contracts and the adequacy of the contracts depends upon the experience of the depart- ment and the attention given to them. The Town Ac- countant could serve as a source of assistance to the de- partment that only infrequently prepare contracts and assist them in the form, preparation and execution. All bills processed under the terms of a contract would be subject to the approval of the Town Accountant and for this reason he should be assured contracts were properly prepared and executed.


At the special town meeting held in May 1959 the town voted that no contract for work, or other services other than professional, could be performed for the town, or the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, the estimated cost of which is estimated to cost one thousand dollars or more shall be awarded by any officer unless bids


289


Town of Rockland


have been solicited.


It would be the responsibility of the Town Account- ant to see that this By-Law was strictly adhered to. He would have the power in his hands to refuse to pay any bill that in his judgment required a bid as specified.


Insurance: Certain flaws were found to exist in our insurance and the town voted at the annual meeting of 1958 that the Chairman of the Selectmen, the Chairman of the School Committee and the Chairman of the Asses- sors act as a committee to negotiate for a blanket form of insurance for all types of insurance purchased by the town and to purchase such blanket policies for the year 1959 and thereafter if such types of blanket policies were found to be advantageous to the town. The report of this committee is not available at this time.


Such a specialized study with expert assistance should provide a better and more complete form of cov- erage plus savings in blanket type of insurance. We could assure ourselves that the work of this committee will not be lost if the policies were considered as contracts and held by the Town Accountant as an assistant to the com- mittee.


Insurance is a means by which the town pays a pre- mium to protect its interest and the interests of its em- ployees. We should be able to feel secure that we have provided the best possible coverage at the lowest cost consistent with the interest of the town and its employees.


Financial Reports Many agencies provide study data and analysis of towns for the benefit of officials and Finance Committees. Such reports could no doubt be con- sidered a nuisance but they do represent a certain value. The preparation of a monthly balance sheet available to all departments and the Finance Committee would be of great value and eliminate the necessity of each depart- ment attempting to keep its own. A town accountant is required to prepare such a balance sheet.


The law requires that the Selectmen prepare a finan-


290


Eighty-sixth Annual Report


cial report for the town and publish it in the town report. Such a report has been prepared each year by the ac- counting officer and in a form recommended by the State Accounting system.


Accounting Officer: It has been the practice in Rockland for the Chairman of the Selectmen to keep the books as accounting officer in a sort of dual position. A separate appropriation is made for the accounting officer and it is not mandatory that the Chairman of the Select- men assume the duties of accounting officer. The Select- men could employ an outside employee if they so desired under our present system.


No appropriation is made for clerical assistance for the Accounting Officer and it has been the practice to use the clerical assistance provided for the Selectmen. Be- cause of the volume of typing and multitude of forms as- sociated with the accounting it has been necessary to use practically all of the assistance for accounting purposes leaving only a token of assistance for the Selectmen. With the new "Open Meeting" regulations it does not appear possible for the Selectmen to continue without some form of clerical assistance provided them.


We have mentioned the various obligations a town accountant must comply with in duties and reports. There is no requirement that an accounting officer under our present system should comply with these regulations. If they were attempted they could only be successful to the extent each department or official might choose to coop- erate. Cooperation alone is not a sufficient continuing force to insure a job being done. Specific rules and regu- lations must be adopted and the means to enforce them provided if the town wishes the job to be done properly.


Under our present dual system of the Chairman of the Selectmen acting as accounting officer it is only rea- sonable to expect that the volume of increased duties will cause one job to suffer at the expense of the other.


Administration: We at present have the standard system of accounting provided by the State but we have


291


Town of Rockland


not provided the means and authority to insure a proper administration job. The means could be provided by ap- pointing a town accountant. The authority by adopting Sections 55 to 61 of Chapter 41 of the General Laws spec- ifying the duties of a town accountant plus the adoption of a by-law covering purchase requisitions.


Cost consideration: The only item the committee felt might be undesirable to appointing a town accountant is the possibility of creating a new position with an ad- ditional salary. If the town was content to operate as oth- er towns do without a full time Chairman of the Board of Selectmen then no new position need be created.


The salary of the present accounting officer is $3,877. annually and is inadequate for the responsibilities of a Town Accountant. The position of town accountant is held to be of high level and most towns of our size pay between $5,000.00 and $6,000.00. A few towns pay more.


In order to secure the services of an individual with proper ability a salary range from $5,200.00 to $6,000.00 appears to be necessary.


Part time clerical assistance would be necessary and the amount now being used in the present system appears to be adequate.


Perhaps the most logical solution to the clerical as- sistance problem would be to employ one individual full time to assist both the Town Accountant and Selectmen in place of the present part time clerical assistance.


One item we should very clearly emphasize is that a town accountant can correct the undesirable accounting conditions that exist but he cannot correct poor manage- ment in the operation of a department. Such interference would be beyond the scope of his authority.


Another committee is studying the town public works form of operation and no doubt they will discuss the oper- ation of the various departments concerned. Experience indicates a substantial change should be made in the bud-


292


Eighty-sixth Annual Report


get setup of the Highway department if the town account- ant is to be expected to control expenditures in accord- ance with some reasonable form of classification. The present system is practically equivalent to handling the Highway Surveyor a blank check for nearly $200,000.00.


Recommendations: This committee recommends that affirmative action be taken in voting to appoint a Town Accountant and the following articles will be in- cluded in the annual warrant for the consideration of the voters.


Article To see if the Town will vote to instruct the Board of Selectmen to appoint a Town Accountant in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 41, Section 55 of the Gen- eral Laws, said appointment to be made after the town election of 1960 and not later than April 1, of 1960 or take any other action relative thereto.


The date of April 1 is shown because of a directive vote of the May 1959 town meeting. It is suggested that the Selectmen be given to at least June 1, 1960 to make the appointment.


Article To see if the Town will vote to amend the Town By-Laws by adding to Article IV the following new sec- tion :


No officer, department head, board or committee au- thorized to expend money shall make purchases of supplies or materials or contract for services to be rendered to the town without issuing a written pur- chase order therefor on prescribed forms as ap- proved by the Selectmen; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to the salaries or wages of part time or regularly employed officers, clerks and wage earners of any department of the town. All purchase orders shall be in tripli- cate; one to be designated for the vendor, one to be designated for the files of the officer, department head, board or committee issuing the order. The or- der designated for the vendor shall be submitted to the town accountant and shall not be delivered to the


293


Town of Rockland


vendor until the town accountant shall have certified thereon that there is sufficient unencumbered balance of the appropriation to be charged to pay the amount due under the order; provided, however, that verbal orders for supplies, materials or services to be render- ed may be given for an amount not to exceed Twenty- five dollars. All verbal orders shall be confirmed in writing on prescribed purchase order forms on the day the orders are given and immediately transmit- ted to the town accountant and shall be subject to his certification as aforesaid.


Article To see if the Town will vote to abolish the posi- tion of Auditor in accordance with Section 55 of Chapter 41 of the General Laws or take any other action relative thereto.


It is with great sorrow that this committee reports that Mr. Ernest C. Park was taken from us by death. During the period of time Mr. Park was alloted to work with us he showed the same sincere effort that he applied to his work and church. This committee would like to take this means to express its deep sympathy to Mr. Park's family in their great loss.
