Clifton council adopts FY2016 budget and appoints treasurer
Summary
The Clifton Town Council approved the fiscal year 2016 budget as advertised and appointed Marilyn Barton as town treasurer through June 30, 2016. The budget vote and related resolutions on rates, taxes and appropriation were adopted by roll call.
The Clifton Town Council voted June 2 to adopt the Town of Clifton budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, and to execute three associated resolutions on rates, taxes and appropriations.
At the meeting Mayor Bill Hollaway and council members recorded a roll-call vote approving the advertised budget. The minutes show Mayor Bill Hollaway, Jennifer Heilmann, Wayne Nickum and Eric Hencken voting aye; Deborah Dillard was recorded as absent. The council approved the appropriation and related resolutions during the unfinished business portion of the meeting.
Marilyn Barton, who is listed in the minutes as the town treasurer, was subsequently appointed Town Treasurer through June 30, 2016. The motion to appoint Barton carried unanimously among members present at the time, according to the minutes.
Why it matters: The budget sets the town’s authorized spending and tax rates for the coming year and authorizes staff to implement the advertised appropriations. The appointment of the treasurer formalizes the official who will oversee town financial operations and reporting through the fiscal year.
Details: Treasurer Marilyn Barton presented financial reports through May 31, 2015, noting BPOL (Business, Professional and Occupational License) filings for FY15 totaled $42,189.07 after a May receipt of $8,570.99, equal to 92% of the projected BPOL revenue for the year. The treasurer also highlighted outstanding ‘‘Haunted Trail’’ IOUs (13 remaining totaling $370) and routine contractual expenses related to the FY14 audit and legal fees.
Procedural note: The minutes record motions by council members with mover/second and roll-call details. The meeting record lists the Town Clerk/Manager Sandra Scales-Siwek and Treasurer Marilyn Barton as town officials present. The council adjourned at 10:35 p.m.
