Brooklyn council adopts salary ordinance allocating payroll costs across funds
Summary
The Brooklyn Town Council voted to adopt Ordinance 2025‑3, setting the distribution of payroll costs across general, water, sewer and other funds; the council also authorized construction payouts and approved routine bills.
The Brooklyn Town Council on July 8 adopted Ordinance 2025‑3, which sets a formula for allocating payroll and related costs across municipal funds and authorizes construction payouts and routine payments.
Council members agreed on a split of fund percentages to cover salaries and benefits for staff, with the final motion approving the ordinance and the fund‑allocation breakdown discussed during the meeting. The council also authorized a payout for sewer construction work (Division A payout #2 and Division B payout #1 totaling approximately $104,640.04) and approved payment of the town's regular bills.
The ordinance debate focused on how to spread personnel costs across utilities and general operations so the costs reflect where work is performed. Members discussed options for percentage allocations across water, sewer, motor‑vehicle/highway (MVH) and general funds before agreeing on the proposed breakdown and moving to formal adoption.
In addition to the salary ordinance, the council authorized a construction payout for ongoing sewer work and addressed payment logistics (including concerns about wire and service fees). A motion to pay the bills was made, seconded and carried.
The ordinance and the payout will be reflected in upcoming budget documents and payroll processing; council members said staff will follow up with the clerk’s office to finalize implementation details. No formal roll‑call vote totals were read aloud during the meeting transcript.
