Middletown board approves series of transfers, grants and contracts in single session
Summary
In a single meeting the board approved multiple budget transfers, accepted STOP-DWI and a senator's award, authorized use of an insurance payment for a police vehicle replacement, and approved a 36-month internet services agreement; most actions passed by voice vote with movers and seconders named in the record.
The Middletown board approved a package of operational items by voice vote, covering transfers, grant acceptances and small contracts.
Items approved included: minutes approval; a $51,700 transfer within parks and special programs to cover personnel and program costs; a $1,000 transfer for the street department longevity pay shortfall; acceptance of an $8,000 STOP-DWI grant; authorization to apply an insurance recovery toward a totaled police vehicle replacement; multiple internal police budget reallocations (vehicles, community outreach, equipment, repairs, rentals and K-9 care); acceptance of a $4,000 STOP-DWI high-visibility grant; acceptance of a $10,000 senator's award to support National Night Out (for the following fiscal year); deposit of $380 in donations for the emergency food assistance program; transfers within the Paramount budget including $33,000 reallocated from city-sponsored events; and a $1,665 internal transfer in community development.
Most motions were moved and seconded on the record (several by Massey and Rodriguez) and passed by voice vote. Several staff members explained specific program needs (for example, parks program staffing and the Paramount maintenance needs). The procurement discussion for the Paramount (no bids received) was handled separately.
