Ogdensburg council approves voucher payments and reviews fund registers totaling roughly $100,260
Summary
Council voted to authorize payment of vouchers and departmental finance reports, approving current fund checks (after a correction) totaling about $100,260.43 and reviewing payroll, water, capital and grant fund disbursements listed in the meeting packet.
At its Sept. 26 meeting the Ogdensburg Borough Council approved a motion to review and authorize payment of vouchers and departmental finance reports, with a unanimous roll-call vote from members present (Cowdrick, DeMeo, Nasisi, Poyer).
The clerk and finance staff presented the current fund check register, reporting corrected total disbursements of $100,260.43 after a voided check for a wrong amount. Major items listed included a payment to Wallkill Valley Regional High School for $86,607.83, CenturyLink, Dave’s Towne Service and health-insurance and utility vendors. Payroll and several voided checks and printing errors for earlier periods were noted and corrected in the register.
The water fund register showed payments totaling $4,746.00 for Agra Environmental Services and Hank Sanders Inc.; general capital had a check to Van Cleef Engineering Assoc. LLC for $10,220.00; and the grant fund register listed several small vendor disbursements and vendor corrections.
Why it matters: Routine voucher approvals authorize municipal spending and ensure bills for utilities, vendors and contracted services are paid. The ledger shows the borough’s short-term financial commitments, including a large payment to the regional school district.
Next steps: The finance reports remain part of the official record; the council did not identify additional follow-up actions beyond standard accounting corrections for voids and printing errors.
Ending note: The council adjourned at 7:20 p.m. after completing routine finance business.
