Select Board reviews warrants and discusses $18,000 for golf course storage containers
Summary
At its April 27 meeting the Select Board reviewed payroll and expenditure warrants and discussed a proposed $18,000 purchase of storage containers for the golf course; the board asked for more information on leasing options and the golf course reserve before finalizing budget impacts.
The Carrabassett Valley Select Board reviewed payroll and expenditure warrants at its April 27 meeting and discussed a proposed $18,000 line item for storage containers for the golf course.
Town Manager Garrett Corbin explained that three trailers currently used to store winter greens covers will be replaced by containers located nearer the greens; he said the clubhouse basement was dismissed because of potential mold and that proximity to the greens was a priority. The board discussed investigating leasing containers as an alternative to purchasing and debated whether the expense should come from the golf course reserve. Corbin expressed concern that use of the reserve might "bleed into operations," prompting the board to request a review of the golf course budget and advance information about planned expenditures.
The minutes record the warrant line items: Payroll No. 13: $40,468.81; Payroll No. 15: $45,455.58; Expenditure No. 14: $38,768.21; Expenditure No. 16: $188,316.61, including the $18,000 container item. The board did not approve a final plan for the containers at the meeting; members requested further information to guide a budget decision.
