Select Board approves transfer of Rutland Town Seniors checking account to Recreation Department
Summary
The Select Board voted unanimously to close the Rutland Town Seniors standalone checking account and transfer its funds to the town Recreation Department after a vote by seniors to consolidate finances.
The Rutland Town Select Board voted 5-0 to transfer the Rutland Town Seniors' separate checking account into the town Recreation Department account and to close the standalone account. The seniors group had conducted a membership vote and agreed to the consolidation; town staff confirmed the account held annual town contributions (typically $1,000 to $1,500) and modest participant payments from senior lunches.
Select Board members said moving the funds into the Recreation Department would simplify administration and bookkeeping. The board approved the transfer by voice vote and directed staff to close the separate account and incorporate balances into the Recreation Department's accounts.
