Livermore Falls board closes "garbage bags" reserve and reallocates funds to personnel contingency
Summary
Officials voted to close the reserve used for town garbage bag sales and move the balance into the personnel contingency account, noting the town no longer sells bags. Transcript lists the bag account balance ambiguously; personnel contingency balances were specified in discussion.
The Livermore Falls Select Board voted to close an obsolete "garbage bags" reserve account and transfer the balance into the town's personnel contingency account. A board member explained the account had funded bag sales at the transfer station and town office but said, "now we're out of the garbage bag business," and recommended closing the account.
During the discussion the committee member stated account amounts; the transcript includes both "$10,003.74" and "$0.04" in different segments for the garbage bags account. The motion to move the funds into the personnel contingency was made by a committee member, seconded (the seconder is identified in the transcript as "Tom"), and approved by voice vote. Speakers noted the personnel contingency had been started last fiscal year with $25,000, had $6,236.79 remaining, and that another $25,000 had been raised this year; the garbage-bag funds were described as adding roughly $10,000 to that account.
