Select board approves $5,000-cap second monthly warrant with designated signer
Summary
To handle off-cycle bills, the board approved a second monthly warrant process: a primary signer (town clerk) and alternate will be authorized for off-cycle warrants capped at $5,000; warrants exceeding $5,000 require a quorum.
The Weybridge Select Board approved a procedure to process off-cycle bills via a second monthly warrant with a $5,000 cap. The board designated a primary signer (the town clerk) and a named alternate to sign such warrants; if an off-cycle warrant would exceed $5,000, the board requires a quorum to review and approve the payments.
A board member explained the approach was modeled on another town's practice and intended for predictable, routine bills such as recurring service fees and payroll items that fall between regular meetings. The motion as moved included the explicit limit: "And the off this 2nd off cycle warrant shall not exceed $5,000, period," and it also stated that any off-cycle warrant above that threshold would require a quorum to sign off. The board approved the motion by voice vote and asked staff to circulate a concise written policy implementing the flowchart.
