Treasurer proposes folding Water/Sewer into consolidated Public Works budget
Summary
Treasurer Seeman recommended moving Water/Sewer accounts and salaries into a single Public Works budget and asked department heads to work with her to condense line items for cleaner QuickBooks reporting.
Treasurer Marcy Seeman asked for clearer expense reporting from Public Works and the police to improve QuickBooks bookkeeping and proposed eliminating a separate Water/Sewer budget account. Seeman recommended transferring Water/Sewer salaries and expenses into a consolidated Public Works budget that would include all department salaries.
She asked department heads to collaborate on deleting or consolidating minor line items and on moving certain salary costs (office manager and Public Works employees) into the Public Works account. The recommendation was presented as a bookkeeping and organizational change to make next year's budget easier to manage; no formal vote to reallocate accounts was taken at the budget meeting.
