Finance Committee seeks documentation from Public Works and Tree Warden on storm costs
Summary
Finance directed staff to obtain salt purchase records, addresses for routine tree work and documentation from Public Works and the Tree Warden after reviewing storm-related overages; George Estrada and Dmitri Paris were cited as expected to provide materials or attend the council meeting.
After reviewing the year-end supplemental request, the Finance Committee asked Finance Director Maria Pires to gather additional documentation from Public Works and the Tree Warden explaining why certain accounts exceeded budget.
The committee asked for specific details: how much salt was pre-purchased for the season; whether trees downed at Unity Park were charged to the Tree Warden accounts; and address-level detail for routine tree work that contributed to overages. The minutes note that George Estrada and Dmitri Paris will either attend the full-council meeting or submit documentation to explain the charges.
Councilman Richard Wolf said he would forward specific questions to Director Pires to ensure the town receives the requested backup prior to council action. Finance recorded this follow-up as a planned task.
