Brockton Council approves $1.61 million transfer to reserve for appropriation deficits
Summary
The Brockton City Council approved a $1,609,443 transfer from certified free cash to the reserve for appropriation deficits at a Dec. 15 special meeting; the order was adopted by roll call and a motion to reconsider failed.
At its Dec. 15 special meeting the Brockton City Council approved an order transferring $1,609,443 from certified free cash to a reserve for appropriation deficits.
The clerk introduced Item 4 as a mayoral submission to shift $1,609,443 into the city’s reserve for appropriation deficits. The council proceeded to roll-call adoption; the clerk recorded six affirmative votes and the president declared the order adopted. A motion to reconsider was moved and failed.
Why it matters: the transfer reduces the city’s certified free cash for the fiscal snapshot but is used to ensure funds are reserved to cover appropriation shortfalls.
The council took the vote without extended debate and moved on to the final major transfer on the agenda.
