Bolton electors approve $100,000 to capital reserve and $60,000 Board of Finance transfer
Summary
Bolton’s special town meeting on April 18, 2023 unanimously approved moving $100,000 from FY2022 surplus to the Capital Reserve Fund for grant matches and a separate $60,000 transfer by the Board of Finance from an administration tech services line to the Separation Fund.
First Selectman Pamela Z. Sawyer moved that the town appropriate $100,000 from the FY2022 surplus to the Capital Reserve Fund to be used for grant matches; the motion was seconded and, after supporters spoke in favor, the moderator called the question and the appropriation passed unanimously.
The resolution was supported in discussion by Ross Lally, Amanda Gordon and Selectman Adam Teller; the transcript records that those speakers "spoke in support and in favor of the resolution." The motion was put to a voice vote and recorded in the minutes as "Yes, unanimously." No dollar-by-dollar allocation or timetable for spending the capital reserve funds was specified in the meeting record.
The meeting then considered a Board of Finance transfer: to move $60,000 from the Administration Professional Tech. Services line to the Separation Fund. Ross Lally moved the transfer and First Selectman Pamela Z. Sawyer seconded. There was no discussion and the transfer was approved "Yes, unanimously," according to the minutes.
Town Meeting Moderator Mark T. Altermatt called for a motion to adjourn; on a motion by Selectman Robert Morra, seconded by all present, the meeting adjourned at 6:39 p.m. The minutes were signed and submitted by Town Clerk Elizabeth C. Waters.
