Woodrow board approves prior minutes and monthly bills; discusses meters, receipts and road grant

The Woodrow Town Board approved the minutes from its previous meeting and voted to accept the month’s bills after brief discussion of several line items and account structure.

Unidentified Speaker (S2) moved to approve the minutes and Scott Savey seconded; the board recorded an affirmative voice vote and the motion carried. Later, Scott Savey asked for a motion to approve the bills and the board again approved them by voice.

Board members reviewed specific expenses. Unidentified Speaker (S2) told the board “the credit card was like, 2,700 … for the new meters that Chris ordered,” noting the meter purchase as a recent capital outlay. Members also flagged two charges from Woodrow Corner stores and discussed an unclear Walmart charge; the board asked staff to have the employee identified as Paul turn in receipts for any purchases so charges could be reconciled.

The board reviewed the town’s account structure and capital-funding history. Scott Savey described three primary accounts at Zions — General, Water and Homecoming — and an additional state account earning interest. On capital projects, Savey said the town “put in a 100,000, but that grant paid for the rest,” referring to recent road work funded in part by a grant and a town contribution.

Board members agreed to continue routine oversight of purchases and suggested checking Paul’s timesheets and receipts as part of regular financial review. The board did not record detailed roll-call tallies in the transcript for the votes; approvals are recorded as voice votes in the meeting record.

The board directed staff to include any proposed payroll or budget changes on a future agenda for formal consideration.
