A staff presenter reviewed FY26 investment activity, saying the town's investment balance rose by approximately $500,000 over the year. The presenter also explained a large $2,400,000 transfer related to reserve accounts and cash-flow management.

Town staff presented the fiscal-year-26 investment-activity report and explained why the board’s packet includes two pages this year: a computer system change at 1st National split reporting late in May. The presenter summarized that the net increase in investment balances for the year was approximately $500,000 (dividends, interest, net of fees).

The presenter also explained that a large deduction reflected reserve accounts paying back the general fund for cash-flow purposes; when asked for clarity about a $2,400,000 figure the presenter confirmed that number in response to the chair’s question. The presentation included a detailed list of what comprised the transfers. Board members asked no follow-up questions beyond seeking scale and context; the item was informational and required no board action at this meeting.
