Middletown Board approves routine grants, contracts and budget transfers
Summary
The board approved several routine items including STOP‑DWI grant adjustments, a $13,000 transfer for water treatment chemicals, renewal of the Humane Society contract, and small fire department budget transfers; a water/sewer lawn adjustment had no recorded approval in the transcript.
At its meeting, the Board of Estimate approved a set of routine items affecting grants, contracts and internal budgets.
Key actions approved by voice vote include acceptance of STOP‑DWI funding for the third period, a $5,000 STOP‑DWI high‑visibility campaign grant (to be posted to grant line 3126103), renewal of the 2025 Humane Society contract, and an internal transfer of $13,000 into the chemicals line for the water treatment plant (moved from repairs and materials). The board also approved multiple transfers within the bond/event budget to cover increased rentals and concession activity; staff described these as budget‑neutral and tied to higher event activity.
A package of small transfers within the Fire Department budget totaling $6,000 was approved to move funds into equipment and repairs. In the record about a water/sewer adjustment for 260 East Main Street (a lawn maintenance issue), staff reported photos and outreach but the transcript does not record a motion to approve that adjustment before the meeting moved to adjourn.
Most routine items were moved and seconded on the record; motions were approved by voice vote with no roll‑call tallies provided in the transcript.
