Select Board approves routine transfers, small capital expenditures and warrants
Summary
The Skowhegan Select Board unanimously approved the consent agenda, several small reserve deposits and expenditures (including a loader sale deposit, a $9,600 chlorine system repair, and a $3,000 MDOT check), and authorized treasurer warrants and transfers at the March 10 meeting.
The Select Board voted on a set of routine financial items during its March 10 meeting.
The board approved the consent agenda and minutes from the March 3, 2026 meeting after minor numerical and wording corrections (motion carried 4‑0).
On the regular agenda the board authorized depositing $5,160.75 from a loader sale into the Public Works equipment capital reserve (the loader was awarded to the highest bidder, Harvey Austin). The board also authorized a $9,600 expenditure from the Water Pollution Control capital reserve to Provincial Plumbing for piping rehabilitation in the chlorine storage and delivery system; plant manager Dony Zalewski explained the redundancy and material costs before the board approved the request (motion carried 4‑0).
The board approved an annual interest payment of $1,310.90 to the Woman's Aid Society and authorized depositing a $3,000 MDOT eminent domain check into the Sale of Town‑Owned Property reserve. Board members then approved treasurer warrants 67 and 68; staff clarified that a $3,000,000 line on warrant 68 represented a transfer to a higher‑yield account rather than an expense. All motions were recorded as carried unanimously where tallies were reported as 4‑0.
