Council approves transfers for mayor salary and school security; $800,000 set for special‑education stabilization
Summary
Council adopted committee reports transferring $37,500 for mayor salary, $400,000 for school security door locks, $345,000 for school Motorola radios, and $800,000 to stabilize special‑education funding. Votes were by voice; implementation tasks assigned to departments.
The Woburn City Council on Jan. 16 adopted a series of finance committee reports authorizing several transfers from the city’s unreserved fund balance and other accounts.
The council approved transferring $37,500 from a mayor salary adjustment account to the mayor salary account. Councilors then approved $400,000 from unreserved fund balance to a school security door‑lock account and $345,000 from unreserved fund balance to a school security Motorola radio account. Finally, the council adopted an order transferring $800,000 from unreserved fund balance to a stabilization special‑education funding account.
Each committee report was moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote; councilors did not debate detailed line items in the full session. Departments responsible for implementation will process the transfers and report back as required by municipal finance procedures.
Separately, the council received a communication that Woburn will receive an additional $532,380 in Chapter 90 road and bridge funding from the state for the current fiscal year; that communication was placed on file.
