Duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, doing payroll for the Town and Lincolnville Central School, accounts payable for the Town and Lincolnville Central School, tracking Town revenues, and providing daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly reports.
The Treasurer, also appointed by the Board of Selectmen, verifies monies received from the Tax Collector, Town Clerk, etc., and deposits those revenues in the bank. The Treasurer makes account payable disbursements, upon written authorization of Selectmen, on the Town's behalf. Once real estate tax liens have been recorded in the Registry of Deeds by the Tax Collector, they become the responsibility of the Treasurer.
