Council approves finance package, bills and claims, budget transfer and multiple first‑reading ordinances
Summary
The council approved bills and claims totaling $298,685.13, moved a package of finance resolutions, amended the capital budget and approved a budget transfer; several ordinances passed first reading (including a salary schedule update and the bond ordinance for property acquisition).
The Westfield Town Council approved routine financial business and several resolutions and ordinances at its meeting. Councilman Hapgood moved bills and claims totaling $298,685.13, which the council approved by voice vote. The council also approved a package of finance committee resolutions — including warrants for recreation refunds, dog licenses, overpaid taxes, veteran and senior deductions, payments to Union County, and a checking‑account cancellation — which passed as a bundled motion.
Separately, the council passed a resolution to amend the capital budget and approved a budget transfer by roll call. On first reading the council moved general ordinance 2024‑26 to update salary ranges for nonunion staff and special ordinance 2024‑09 (a capital re‑appropriation ordinance), both of which passed first reading and will return for second reading before final adoption.
Public Works also moved and passed two resolutions, including an award of contract for paving work on Clover Street and Francis Terrace; the council noted some of those costs are offset by state aid. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn.
