Finance director: sheriff contract payment available; SAMS account transfer underway
Summary
Finance Director Carmen Tague said the town has funds to cover the sheriff contract payment (about $17,000); she has filed overdue reports and is working to transfer the SAMS account into her name to manage grants.
Finance Director Carmen Tague presented the first‑of‑month checklist and said town finances currently can cover the sheriff contract payment (about $17,000) that Councilor Tracy asked be added to the payable list. Tague told council she has submitted overdue performance and finance reports and is working to change the SAMS account into her name so grant authorization can proceed.
Councilor Calvin asked whether a $14 water‑billing line would show separately and Tague and Town Recorder Dawn Lepori confirmed the $14 will be disbursed to the sheriff's fund as a separate line item rather than to the water utility. The council did not take formal additional vote action on the sheriff payment at the Dec. 9 meeting beyond placing the item on the payables checklist.
