NEW BUSINESS
Year End Budget Transfers
Donna Latincsics explained to the Board the reasons behind the transfers. The Revenue Collector's line was overspent due to an increase in the Assistant Collector's hours. The Town Counsel line was over spent to cover the land use attorney and the labor attorney costs through June. The Town Clerk line was over spent due to the Assistant covering for the Town Clerk being on medical leave. Discussion followed.
Alan Ference asked if the Assistant Collector's additional hours were approved ahead of time. Selectman Mailhos said no but she has met with all the department heads and this will not happen in the future. John Patton added that considering the departments do their budgets 18 months in advance it's hard to know exactly what is needed, the budgets are just estimates. Peter Latincsics asked who monitors this. Donna Latincsics said that each department head is responsible for keeping track of their spending. John Patton asked if we could have a line by line item summary every month.
