Nutter Fort council hears fiscal updates as workers’ comp premium rises by more than $19,000
Summary
Council reviewed FY 2024/2025 fire-fee mailings, a flu-shot clinic on Oct. 11, the Halloween Fall Festival planning (17 vendors confirmed) and a workers’ compensation audit that increased the town’s annual premium by over $19,000.
The Town of Nutter Fort council on Sept. 10 reviewed several operational and budget items, including notification that FY 2024/2025 Route 20 and Rosebud fire fees were mailed last week and that a flu-shot clinic is scheduled for Oct. 11, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
"Results of the FY 2023/2024 Worker’s Compensation Audit have resulted in over a $19,000 increase in our yearly premium," the Treasurer reported during the meeting. Council members heard that the Halloween Fall Festival planning is proceeding, with 17 vendors confirmed and the town preparing requests to local businesses for donations and advertising support.
Councilors did not debate new line-item allocations during the meeting; the Treasurer’s notice of a workers’ compensation premium increase and the festival fundraising request were presented for future follow-up. The meeting packet included accounts payable items that the council approved unanimously later in the agenda.
Officials did not provide a detailed breakdown of the workers’ compensation cost increase at the meeting; the Treasurer said only that the audit produced "over a $19,000 increase," and no further funding source or mitigation plan was specified during this session.
Next steps: the town will continue routine financial administration and the council will consider any budget adjustments or additional requests for festival support at an upcoming meeting.
