The motion to approve Transfer #05-9 for the sum of $300 carried 6-0.
Interline Transfers within and between Departments
Town Accountant Marilyn Crary answered questions regarding the interline transfer requests presented on a spreadsheet dated 7/12/05. Chair Bruinooge asked why these did not have to go to Town Meeting, and Crary explained that the Town Administrator said the transfers can be done with the concurrence of FinCom. Carlson made a motion to concur with the interline transfers presented. Smith seconded.
The motion for concurrence carried 6-0.
In fall FinCom plans to send a letter to all departments urging them to stay within budget given that the town income is not increasing with the rate of the budget’s expansion.
Chair Bruinooge reported that FinCom turned back $99 to Free Cash for FY05.
