Three days after the selectmen conditioned the paving permit, the Board of Finance held a special meeting to move the money. Asked directly by a Board of Education member whether the new fund was the school's or the town's, the town administrator answered: the "account is on the town side. The town controls that money as it rolls back. It was just designated. It comes back into the town and then becomes designated for a capital fund." Pressed further -- that it sounded as though the town would be in charge of what it was used for, rather than it being a capital account for the school -- he answered: "Correct... it's not at the complete discretion of the school" (~3:29-3:55 of part 2; the meeting was recorded in two parts, and this entry links the part carrying the exchange). Two things the town did in the school's favour at the same meeting: it agreed to pay for the materials- testing laboratory, the proctor and the monitoring, and to backfill behind the curbing at its own cost (part 1, ~15:37); and the finance board convened a special meeting on short notice specifically to keep the project moving.
