North Brookfield approves payroll, vendor warrants and two spending requests including backhoe repair
Summary
The board approved payroll and multiple warrants totaling more than $1 million across funds, authorized a $2,557.44 repair for a backhoe and approved a $1,307.62 reserve transfer for the library to cover higher electricity costs.
The Select Board on June 16 approved routine payroll and vendor warrants and authorized two spending items: a $2,557.44 repair for a backhoe cylinder piston and a $1,307.62 reserve fund transfer for the library to cover increased electricity bills.
The board approved payroll warrant number 26 for $528,663.97. Other warrants approved included School warrant number 1102 for $117,634.42; general fund warrant 1104 for $302,245.16; CDBG projects warrant 1105 for $11,775.03; Fire Highway warrant 1106 for $259,330.37; and Fire Highway warrant number 1108 (amount not fully read on record).
Public discussion on the library transfer noted that the fiscal year 2025 budget did not cover all electricity invoices; a board member said the town expects to be "better off" next fiscal year after renegotiating rates. The $2,557.44 backhoe repair was awarded to United Construction and Forestry after the town received two quotes.
All spending requests on the agenda were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting. No further budget reallocations or multi-year funding items were adopted at the session.
