Onley council accepts audit bid, approves E‑Summons software and authorizes $100,000 transfer
Summary
At its Oct. 7 meeting the council accepted a $10,450 audit bid from Robinson, Farmer & Cox Associates (exceeding the $8,000 budget), approved a $21,110 Tyler Technologies E‑Summons software purchase from the E‑Summons account, and authorized a $100,000 transfer from the money market to checking to cover month‑to‑month expenses.
On Oct. 7 the Onley Town Council approved several fiscal and operational items: acceptance of a single audit bid for fiscal year 2023–2024, purchase of E‑Summons software for police, and a one‑time transfer of $100,000 to cover current expenses.
Clerk/Treasurer Jamye Salazar reported she solicited bids for the 2023–2024 audit and received one compliant bid from Robinson, Farmer & Cox Associates for $10,450; the town had budgeted $8,000 for the audit, leaving a $2,450 shortfall. Council accepted the bid on a motion by Brian Corbin, seconded by Woody Zember, with a unanimous roll call vote.
Police Chief E.J. Long presented a Tyler Technologies quote for E‑Summons software in the amount of $21,110. Salazar confirmed the E‑Summons account balance at $32,439.60 and said the purchase could be funded from that account; council approved the purchase (motion by Rodney Lang, seconded by Bill Ferguson).
Salazar also requested a one‑time transfer of $100,000 from the PNC Bank money market account to the regular checking account to cover an unusually large number of expenses this month; the council approved the transfer (motion by Bill Ferguson, seconded by Woody Zember). Council also approved payment of the September 2024 payables (motion by Daniel Bloxom).
The audit firm was scheduled to begin work the following week, and Chief Long said vehicle equipment orders are in process and in‑car camera installation by Axon is pending a final date.
Recorded votes for the key items were unanimous where roll calls were recorded.
