Warner approves amended 2019 operating budget after floor motions
Summary
Voters approved an amended 2019 operating budget of $3,308,469 after motions on the floor reduced the original proposal; the meeting then restricted reconsideration.
Warner voters approved an amended municipal operating budget for 2019 after a pair of floor motions reduced the town’s original proposal.
Moderator read Article 3, which proposed a $3,342,654 operating budget for general municipal operations. Charlie Albano moved to increase the budget; that motion did not pass. John Leavitt then moved to decrease the budget to $3,308,469, and the voice vote in favor of the decrease carried. The warrant article passed as amended, setting the 2019 operating budget at $3,308,469.
After the budget vote, Andy Bodnarik moved to restrict reconsideration of Article 3. The assembly approved the motion to restrict reconsideration by voice vote, preventing a later floor reconsideration of the same article.
The action concluded the operating-budget portion of the warrant; the meeting proceeded to consider other warrant articles and special items as scheduled.
