Walton accepts 2024 cash audit, approves $3,500 planning advisory contract and routine town business
Summary
The board accepted an independent 2024 cash account audit, approved a $3,500 contract with the Delaware County Department of Planning and Watershed Affairs for 2025 planning advisory services, granted the town clerk permission to attend a state conference and approved vouchers and other routine business.
The Town of Walton board voted Jan. 13 to accept a 2024 cash accounts audit prepared by Brian Pickard, CPA, covering the Town Clerk, Tax Collector and Justice Court accounts. Councilwoman Patty Wood moved to accept the audit; Councilman Luis Rodriguez-Betancourt seconded the motion and the minutes record the vote as carried unanimously.
The board also approved a 2025 Town Planning Advisory Service contract with the Delaware County Department of Planning and Watershed Affairs for $3,500 (motion by Councilman Leonard Govern, seconded by Wood). The minutes show that the planning contract was accepted and recorded as approved.
Town Clerk Tamara MacDonald reported receiving a tax warrant authorizing collection of $4,362,997.64; the clerk said the town had collected $1,005,618.39 so far, including three partial payments. MacDonald requested permission to attend the New York State Town Clerk's Association conference in April; the board approved the request.
The clerk presented obsolete records recommended for disposal under the New York State Records Retention and Disposition Schedule; the transcript records a subsequent motion and a roll-call block but the explicit motion text is not specified in the minutes. The board approved vouchers for payment as presented (motion by Councilman Armstrong, seconded by Rodriguez-Betancourt; minutes record "all in favor").
