Financial Advisory Council
The Ancram Financial Advisory Council (FAC) was established by the Ancram Town Board in 2010 to provide financial analytic support for the Town Board and Town Supervisor, and to provide independent public oversight of the Town’s financial management process. The FAC also participates in the preparation of the annual budget, annually reviews the Town’s insurance policies, reviews the Town’s financial reports on a monthly basis and conducts an annual audit of the Town’s financial books and records. The FAC normally meets once a month at 9:30 am on the Saturday morning prior to the Town Board meeting, which is the third Thursday of each month, at the Ancram Town Hall, and more frequently during periods of budget preparation and audit review. Anyone interested in joining the FAC should contact Art Bassin by email at (abassin@aol.com) or by phone at 329-0921.
