Board approves budget supplement allocating funds to volunteer fire departments; transcript shows inconsistent request ID
Summary
The board approved a budget supplement that moved funds among accounts to allocate approximately $18,904.66 to each volunteer fire department; the transcript lists the budget request as FY 2026-010 in one place and FY 2026-001 in a motion, an inconsistency noted in the record.
Assistant County Administrator Ann Marie Ricardi presented a budget supplement request to appropriate funds to Middlesex Pet Friends for Life to support spay/neuter services and to reallocate funds to local volunteer fire departments. The published fund lines in the record show a Fire Program reduction of ($56,714.00) and allocations of $18,904.66 to UMVFD, $18,904.66 to Hartfield Volunteer Fire Department, and $18,904.67 to Lower Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department.
Supervisor Wayne H. Jessie moved to approve the supplement and the board carried the motion on roll call. The transcript references the request as "FY 2026-010" in the presentation and later records the motion as approving "FY 2026-001"; the county did not specify during the meeting which identifier is authoritative in the public record.
