Selectmen approve accounts payable and two budget transfers; board corrects one transfer description
Summary
The Board approved $71,141.89 in accounts payable, adopted a $768.55 deferred revenue listing, and approved two budget transfers: $2,000 for highway wastewater removal/repairs and $2,100 moved from general supplies to fire security for vehicle repairs after a nomenclature correction.
The Bolton Board of Selectmen approved accounts payable totaling $71,141.89 and took action on budget transfers presented by staff.
The board moved to approve one transfer of $2,000 in the highway budget to cover wastewater removal and related repairs and supplies (noting licensed disposal is required for the wastewater). A second transfer of $2,100 for the fire commission was corrected during discussion: staff clarified the nomenclature was reversed in the packet and the board approved a corrected transfer moving $2,100 from general supplies to the fire-security/repairs account for vehicle repairs.
During discussion, a board member asked for clearer accounting descriptions when transfers are presented. The board also adopted a deferred revenue listing totaling $768.55 as part of routine financial housekeeping. Several selectmen asked for a clearer breakdown of consulting and economic-development work performed under the town’s professional services entries; that request is addressed in a separate item on the agenda.
All transfers described above were approved by voice vote after the packet’s typographical error on the fire commission transfer was corrected on the record.
