Brentwood Town reviews payroll and accounts payable and discusses ambulance fund equipment purchases
Summary
At its meeting the board reviewed payroll and accounts payable figures as read into the record, approved the consent agenda, and confirmed ambulance equipment purchases paid from the ambulance fund rather than taxes.
Brentwood Town opened its regular meeting at about 6 p.m. and reviewed payroll and accounts payable before approving the consent agenda.
As read into the record, the payroll amount for the period ending (date read as "1,425") was given verbally; the transcript contains unclear numeric transcription for some totals. The board also reported ACH payments: $245,000 to an entity identified as Swayze (school payment) and $709,932 to a cooperative district. The consent agenda, which included ambulance fee accounts related to equipment purchases authorized earlier, was approved by motion and second and carried by voice vote.
During public comment a resident asked whether ambulance equipment purchases would be covered by taxes. A board member clarified that the Stryker/Lucas chest-compression device and other ambulance equipment were paid from the ambulance fund, which is funded by ambulance fees rather than by general property taxes. "Nope. That's a separate fund that comes from ambulance fees," a board member said. Board discussion identified the purchases as equipment authorized previously for the fire/EMS department, including an automatic chest-compression device and a pain-management device.
The board said details of finance/budget adjustments would be discussed in the later budget section. The meeting also noted staffing transitions that may affect hours and benefits for other employees; the board said administrator salary and total compensation would be addressed in the budget discussion.
