South Shore reviews water and sewer finances; Water Fund shows negative balance tied to unreimbursed project payment
Summary
Finance Officer reported the Water Fund balance as $(33,534.57), reflecting a payment to J and J Earthworks for a water project that South Shore has not yet been reimbursed for. Board approved pay request #13 to Helm’s Engineering for $161.00 and noted routine maintenance is functioning but early frost raises concerns.
Finance Officer Michelle Zirbel provided the monthly financial report showing the following fund balances: General Fund $126,936.56; Water Fund $(33,534.57) — a negative balance that the minutes attribute to a check issued to J and J Earthworks for a water project that the Town has not yet been reimbursed for; Water Surcharge Fund $53,037.00; Sewer Fund $117,532.05; Sewer Surcharge Fund $37,884.97; CDs $35,846.97. The outstanding sewer loan principal balance was not available in the report.
The board approved warrants totaling $9,303.55. Pay request #13 to Helm’s Engineering for $161.00 related to the water project was approved by motion. C. Werner reported that water and sewer maintenance is functioning as expected, though the early frost raises operational concerns and a rubble-site inspection was completed with a written report to follow.
The minutes show several routine water- and sewer-related expenses in the warrant list and payroll entries; the board did not take additional formal action beyond approving the pay request and warrants. The transcript does not specify a timetable for reimbursement from the project grantor or payer for the J and J Earthworks payment.
