These include bequests that have been given to the town for specific purposes (such as maintaining the Jackson Falls) as well as funds that have been set aside by Warrant Articles at voted on at Town Meeting; to accrue for future expenses or purchases (such as the police cruiser).

The NH Attorney General’s office specifies that Trustees must meet in public at least once a year in order to elect officers for the upcoming year and to review, revise and approve an Investment Policy. In addition, all withdrawal requests and other public business of the Trustees of the Trust Fund must be done at a public meeting. This includes discussion and approval of the content of the annual MS9 report identifying all transactions for the trusts each year.

Past files for the trusts are stored in the town office basement. Current active files and records are held by the Treasurer of the Trust Funds and are available for review upon request.
