Peletier commissioners approve $34,900 budget amendment to cover planner, maintenance and elections
Summary
The board approved Budget Amendment No. 1, increasing several line items by $34,900 to fund planning work on a land-use plan, clerk/code enforcement pay, election fees, payroll taxes and town-hall maintenance; funds come from the general fund.
The Town of Peletier Board of Commissioners approved Budget Amendment No. 1 on June 1, increasing budget lines by $34,900 to cover near-term needs and planner work on the town’s land-use plan.
The chair outlined the amendment: advertising $200; clerk pay/code-enforcement $2,000; election fees $1,500; town planner adjustment (the chair stated a $28,000 planner line is mostly for land-use-plan work); payroll taxes $1,000; town-hall maintenance $2,200 for a grand total of $34,900. The chair noted the money will be taken from the general fund balances brought in this year and will not put the town in the red.
Why it matters: Commissioners said this is the final month of the fiscal year to make these amendments and that the planner work relates to an active land-use plan project the board previously budgeted for but did not progress. One commissioner confirmed the amendment represents adjustments that finalize the year’s accounts and align next year’s planning expenses.
Outcome: A motion to approve Budget Amendment No. 1 was moved and seconded; the board approved the amendment by voice vote.
Next steps: Staff will record the amendment and reflect the changes in financial records for the close of the fiscal year. The board indicated the funds are available in the general fund and no additional appropriation was necessary.
Reporting note: Monetary figures are taken from the board’s on-the-record presentation at the June 1 meeting.
