The Aberdeen Town Board approved its consent agenda on June 23, a package of routine but consequential items that included budget adjustments, a sidewalk financial guarantee, an amended audit contract and an event road-closure ordinance.
The consent agenda items approved included: Resolution #25-10 accepting a financial guarantee of $70,938 to secure sidewalk installation for Bethesda Forest Phase 4; fiscal-year 2024–25 year-end budget amendments for the General Fund and the Water & Sewer Fund as listed in the packet; and an amendment to the audit contract for Fiscal Year 2023–24 with Misty D. Watson, CPA, PA. Finance Director Butch Watson reported sales-tax receipts through April of $3,174,000 and answered a board question explaining that Powell Bill funding is derived from motor fuels tax revenue.

The proposed closure window for most streets is 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., with West Main Street closed 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The event plan in the packet included specific route maps, barricade and police assignments, ambulance/first-aid stations, and a traffic-management plan. The board approved the ordinance by unanimous vote recorded as 5-0.
