Cairo board corrects 2025 budget lines, reallocates $51,778 to reduce tax levy
Summary
The Cairo Town Board approved Resolution No. 2025-224 on Dec. 1 to correct accounting input errors and reallocate multiple 2025 expenditure and revenue lines, recording a $51,778.06 payment to reduce the tax levy.
The Town Board of Cairo on Dec. 1 approved Resolution No. 2025-224 to correct errors identified while entering the 2025 accounting data and to amend multiple revenue and expense lines. The resolution reallocates funds across highway, assessor, clerk, buildings, police, and retirement accounts and records revenue labeled “Town Payment to Reduce Tax Levy” of $51,778.06.
Supervisor Watts, who offered the resolution, presented a list of moved line items and account corrections, including moving $8,178.21 from DA-5110-4 (General Repairs – Contractual) to DA-5112-204 (Permanent Improvements – Capital Outlay) and adding A0-1420-4 $25,000 for Law Contractual. The board voted to adopt the corrections with Supervisor Watts, Council Members Bogins, Cords and Flaherty voting aye (Council Member Murphy absent). The minutes state the changes were necessary because “errors were identified while inputting the numbers into the accounting system.”
The corrections update multiple departmental accounts, from assessment and clerk equipment to police per-diem and retirement liabilities. The board minutes do not include a line-item that would increase the overall 2025 spending beyond what is recorded; rather, the action adjusts internal coding and applies the $51,778.06 revenue offset. The board did not attach separate staff reports in the minutes; further details on specific vendor invoices or supporting schedule items were not specified.
