Summary
Taunton’s Committee on Finance and Salaries approved the January payroll warrant of $4,437,340.16 and an accounts-payable warrant totaling $6,557,187.15; committee tabled a discussion on dissolving certain revolving funds until CFO is available.
The Committee on Finance and Salaries voted to approve the city’s payroll warrant of $4,437,340.16 and an accounts-payable warrant totaling $6,557,187.15 during its meeting.
Committee members approved the minutes from Jan. 28 and then moved to the warrants. The payroll warrant — covering city departments’ employee pay — was read and approved by voice vote. The accounts-payable warrant was presented as $6,557,187.15; the meeting transcript lists the largest line items in the accounts-payable warrant, including an $160,000 loan disbursement for 68 Church Green, roughly $440,000 for trash and recycling pickup, $487,000 for student transportation, $273,000 for federal tax and Medicare payments, $109,000 for road resurfacing, about $3,900,000 for group health insurance payments, and $253,000 for school department employee retirements.
Committee members also placed the agenda item about the potential dissolution of the Airport and Parking Commission revolving funds (as of 06/30/2025) on hold until the chief financial officer can attend; the CFO was unavailable for that item. After routine votes, the committee adjourned.
Votes on the warrants were taken by voice and recorded as approved; the meeting transcript records the motions and seconds but does not provide roll-call tallies in the committee minutes excerpt.
