Flower Hill board approves $215,391.43 in expenditures and mid‑year budget transfers
Summary
The Village of Flower Hill approved $215,391.43 in expenditures, kept a tree‑bond deposit after a resident declined to replant, and adopted a budget‑transfer resolution reallocating funds — including a $36,000 increase for code enforcement/patrol.
At its May 5 meeting the Village of Flower Hill Board of Trustees approved $215,391.43 in expenditures and adopted a budget‑transfer resolution that the board described as a mid‑year adjustment to align expense accounts with actual activity.
Trustees said the resolution moves money within the expense side of the budget rather than changing revenue assumptions. The board explained three adjustments: an increase of $36,000 to code enforcement for patrol services, an increase for building materials and supplies and snowplow materials after a heavy winter, and decreases to contracted street‑paving engineering services and certain clerk/treasurer salaries to offset the increases.
The board also addressed a request from a resident who opted not to replant a required tree and concluded the village would retain the deposit under existing policy.
Trustees flagged that health insurance costs (NYSHIP) rose and contributed to overages in employee‑benefit accounts; staff said they will continue to monitor and bring further adjustments as needed. The board approved the budget adjustments by voice vote and directed staff to post details with the resolution.
