Shelton board approves financial moves, appoints Michael Henry to housing board and pays trustee claim with abstention
Summary
At its Aug. 14 meeting, the Village of Shelton approved moving a Perpetual Care CD into NPAIT, changed Keno account structure, transferred pool savings, appointed Michael Henry to the Housing Authority Board, and approved claims including one paid with Trustee Cliff Keslar abstaining.
The Village of Shelton Board of Trustees approved several finance-related measures, appointed a new Housing Authority member and resolved claims at its Aug. 14 regular meeting.
Trustee Keslar moved, and Trustee Jensen seconded, to cash Perpetual Care Fund CD #100470 and reinvest the proceeds in NPAIT; to change the Keno checking account from an interest-bearing account to a regular checking account because most funds are held in NPAIT; and to close the new pool savings account and transfer those funds into the pool general account in anticipation of pool construction. The motion passed unanimously.
Trustee Oberg moved, Trustee Rabbe seconded, and the board unanimously appointed Michael Henry to fill the remainder of Sharon Myers’ term on the Housing Authority Board, with that term expiring in December 2027.
On claims, the board first voted to pay presented claims while holding the claim identified as “Cliff Keslar” for a separate vote. Trustee Rabbe then moved to pay the Keslar claim; Trustee Jensen seconded. The second vote recorded Ayes: Roe, Oberg, Rabbe and Jensen; Abstain: Keslar. The motion carried and the claim was paid with Keslar abstaining.
Written and verbal reports were received from the Administrative Clerk, Police Chief, Utility Superintendent and the Library. Board members also received the 2025/26 line-item budget for review and discussed cost-cutting and salary negotiations; no final budget vote was taken at the meeting. The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
The minutes do not specify the dollar amount held in the Perpetual Care Fund CD, the balance transferred from the pool savings account, or the vendor/payment details for the claim paid for Trustee Keslar; where amounts were not specified in the minutes, the text states that fact rather than inferring values.
