Requests for Transfer.
#03-8: Shellfish Department, #179, $21,515, new vehicle. Acting
Shellfish Constable Jim McGrath spoke to the request, stating that the vehicle had been used up when they got it and is not worth repairing. There was discussion as to whether or not the request meets the criteria for a transfer from the Reserve Fund, with Arlene Kirsch and Deborah Davis arguing that it was not unforeseen and is a Capital Budget item. Berta Bruinooge felt that it was a legitimate request, noting that Mr. McGrath had tried to get a vehicle into the budget but had been denied, and that budget constraints had disrupted the established vehicle rotation schedule. Also, the vehicle had failed at the end of May, which was very bad timing for the Department's work. Patricia Foley MOVED "that the Finance Committee approve the request for a transfer from the Reserve Fund." SECONDED by Beta
Bruinooge and CARRIED 5-0.
#03-9: Medicare, #916, $5,264,07. It was noted that the budget is short because of five new employees. Arlene Kirsch MOVED "that the Finance Committee approve the request." SECONDED by Pat Foley and CARRIED 5-0.
#03-10: Legal Expenses, #151, $6,505. Deborah Davis MOVED "that the Finance Committee approve the request." SECONDED by Sylvia Smith and CARRIED 5-0.
#03-11: Liability/Property/Compensation Insurance, #945, $1,637.
Arlene Kirsch MOVED "that the Finance Committee approve the request." SECONDED by Pat Foley and CARRIED 5-0.
It was noted that there is c. $21,000 remaining in the Reserve Fund.
Other Business.
The Minutes of the meeting of 5/14/03 were approved, as MOVED by Davis, SECONDED by Foley, and CARRIED 5-0.
