Trustees accept water and sewer capital-reserve deposits; note $9,000 distribution discrepancy
Summary
Hillsborough trustees acknowledged two checks totaling $556,033 to be deposited across multiple water and sewer capital reserve accounts and tasked staff to reconcile a $9,000 discrepancy in the listed distribution for the sewer check.
Trustees at their Dec. 26 meeting recorded that Water and Sewer Administrator Penny Griffin would send two checks — $233,000 for Water capital reserves and $323,033 for Sewer capital reserves — to be deposited across specified capital reserve accounts.
Griffin provided an itemized distribution for the water check totaling $233,000 including $170,000 to Water Line Rehabilitation CR 148, $30,000 to Bible Hill Reservoir Improvements CR 122 and smaller amounts to emergency and system improvement reserves. For the sewer check she listed distributions that sum to $314,033, but the actual check amount she cited was $323,033. Trustee Riché Colcombe noted the discrepancy and said she would follow up with Griffin to determine how the $323,033 should be allocated among the sewer accounts.
Earlier in the meeting, trustees had approved Penny Griffin’s requests to withdraw $314,837.66 from Sewer I/I Reduction CR 134 and $31,213.14 from Water Line Rehab CR 148 for the Park & Whittemore St. project; Trustee Judy Ann Thibault moved to approve and trustees voted 3–0.
The trustees did not resolve the allocation discrepancy during the meeting; Riché Colcombe will follow up with Griffin to reconcile the $9,000 difference and confirm final deposit distributions.
Next steps: Griffin to provide corrected distribution instructions or explanation for the difference; trustees to confirm deposits after reconciliation.
