Summary

Boonsboro officials voted Sept. 9 to return $1 million from the Sewer Fund to the General Fund after receiving Department of General Services grant reimbursement, and approved routine minutes and treasurer reports for the summer months.

Boonsboro’s Mayor and Council voted Sept. 9 to transfer $1 million from the Sewer Fund back to the General Fund after the Department of General Services reimbursed the town for costs tied to a volute press.

Assistant Mayor Tony Nally, who introduced the item, told the council the one-time move had been made earlier this year to cover immediate sewer equipment expenses and confirmed the grant funds have now arrived. A motion to return the $1,000,000 was made by Assistant Mayor Nally and seconded by Council Member Ricky Weaver; the motion carried.

The council also approved the Aug. 12 regular meeting minutes and Aug. 26 workshop minutes (motion by Council Member Ricky Weaver, second by Council Member Ray Hanson) and accepted July and August 2024 Treasurer’s Reports (motion by Council Member Eric Kitchen, second by Council Member Ray Hanson; Council Member Marilee Kerns abstained).

Why it matters: reversing the transfer restores the town’s General Fund balance and records reimbursement from state grant funding rather than an internal reallocation. Town Manager Rachel Souders said the town received the CEL for Award 22-674 and can now request reimbursement for invoices.

What comes next: the council did not identify additional action beyond the bookkeeping transaction and approval of reimbursement requests; routine financial oversight will continue at upcoming meetings.
