Council approves year‑end transfer of 2025 appropriations under statute cited in record
Summary
The Lawrence council approved Resolution 385 at a Dec. 30 special meeting to authorize transfers of 2025 current‑fund appropriations under a statute cited in the record as 'NJSA 448 4-58'; members said the transfer needed four votes and had failed previously when only three members attended.
At a Dec. 30 special meeting, the Lawrence council approved Resolution 385 to authorize transfers of 2025 current‑fund appropriations under a statute cited in the meeting record as "NJSA 448 4-58." Council members said the transfer had appeared on the prior meeting’s agenda but failed there because the governing body required at least four votes and only three members were present due to a medical absence.
A council member moved for the resolution and explained the procedural need to complete the transfer within the 2025 calendar year. The motion was seconded and the clerk called the roll. The transcript records Mr. Bab and Mr. Kaki voting "yes," and shows a recorded "yes" for 'Merry' and additional affirmative responses without naming all speakers. The record does not state the precise dollar amounts or line‑item allocations involved in the transfer.
Council members did not take public comment on the item during the meeting. The resolution was recorded as approved in the meeting minutes on Dec. 30; the transcript does not record any amendments to the transfer or further departmental implementation details.
