Summary
At the May 19 meeting the board approved multiple vouchers including #1631 for $348,462.78, reviewed revenue and general ledger reports through April 30, 2026, and noted the School Budget Appropriation of $23,801,845 with $19,148,711 YTD expenditures.
The Brooklyn Board of Selectmen on May 19 approved a slate of vouchers after a motion by Sherri Vogt and second by Kayla Burgess. Vouchers approved included #1631 for $348,462.78, #1632 for $7,152.91, #1633 for $2,705.11, #1634 for $208.57, #1635 for $219.01, #1636 for $1,542.16, #1637 for $12,006.75, and #1638 for $56.55. The motion carried as recorded in the meeting minutes.
Members briefly reviewed printed revenue and expenditure reports through April 30, 2026. The GL reports list several major lines: Property Taxes Current (~$21.13 million YTD), Education Assistance (~$6.98 million budgeted), and a School Budget Appropriation shown at $23,801,845 with $19,148,711 reported YTD. Department-level expenditure pages show variances and encumbrances across administration, fire facilities, roads and other departments; the minutes note members felt overall financials were on target.
Why it matters: The voucher approvals authorize the town to meet contractual and operational obligations; the GL reports provide the board and public with the town's latest revenue and spending positions ahead of further budget monitoring.
The meeting adjourned at 5:50 p.m.
