Trustees approve $795,283.76 in bills at Swansea special meeting
Summary
At a Swansea special meeting, trustees voted unanimously to pay $795,283.76 in bills and draw from the appropriate funds; the payment passed by roll call and the mayor said he will change meeting procedure to read ordinance summaries aloud before votes.
Trustees at a special Village of Swansea meeting voted to pay $795,283.76 in bills and authorized drawing funds from the appropriate accounts.
The mayor asked for a motion to pay the bills after Treasurer Ben reported the total; a motion and second were recorded and the village clerk conducted a roll-call vote. Trustees Maguire, Klaper, Toubiniar, Tubena and Lewis each voted “Aye,” and the mayor declared the motion carried.
The vote concluded the finance report portion of the special meeting. The mayor also told the board he will alter meeting procedure so he reads a short summary of ordinance items aloud before calling for votes, to help attendees who may not have printed the agenda.
No additional details about which funds would cover particular invoices were provided during the meeting. A fuller financial packet or line-item breakdown was not read into the record at the special meeting; Treasurer Ben had presented the total amount only.
