Votes at a glance: Finance committee forwards budgets to full council
Summary
At its June 15 meeting the North Adams Finance Committee approved motions to recommend the public services, capital and general government budgets to the full council; minutes were also approved. One capital motion recorded a single opposition but carried.
The North Adams City Council Finance Committee took four formal actions during its June 15 budget review session:
1) Approval of minutes — The committee moved to approve the June 9 meeting minutes; motion carried.
2) Recommend public services budget — The committee voted to recommend the public services budget package (covering cemeteries, highway, water, parks, airport and related lines) to the full council.
3) Recommend capital expenses — The committee voted to recommend the capital expenses as presented. The transcript records one member as opposed during the roll call but the motion carried.
4) Recommend general government budget — The committee voted to forward the general government budget, as presented, to the full council.
Next steps: Administration will prepare full-council packets and the committee scheduled a follow-up meeting to review revenue estimates after state cherry-sheet numbers are available. The committee emphasized that final use of any state winter-recovery supplemental funds depends on the grant language and Department of Revenue timing.
Votes and outcomes are recorded in committee minutes and forwarded with the recommendations to the full council.
