Finance Committee records plan to change bank accounts after fraud; staff position review underway
Summary
Minutes note the committee will change checking accounts following fraud on an account, a six‑month budget‑to‑actual review is ongoing, and a review to expand the administration staff position to support the Town Clerk is in progress.
The Melbourne Village Finance Committee recorded a plan to change the town's checking accounts after fraud was detected on an account, according to the April 16 minutes.
Under new business the minutes state: 'New Checking – due to fraud on the account we will be changing accounts.' The item is listed for further administrative action; the minutes do not specify the amount involved, the account holder name, or whether law enforcement or the town's bank has been notified.
The committee also reviewed a six‑month budget‑to‑actual report to identify potential adjustments and noted a review is under way to expand the administration staff position to provide additional support to Town Clerk/Treasurer Heather Roberts. The minutes do not record final authorization of a new hire or revised job description; they indicate the review is ongoing.
Finally, the minutes record this meeting included the last report of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds activity. No new ARPA allocations were recorded at this meeting.
The committee will revisit budget adjustments, account changes and staffing once staff present follow‑up details and any needed Commission action.
