Town CFO Seth Bernstein reported a data-entry error at the March 18 budget workshop that left the MVFD GPS budget short by $4,500; the recording clerk said minutes would be corrected when BOF approves them, but First Selectwoman Mahr said no further correction was needed for the special meeting record.

Seth Bernstein told the joint Board of Finance and Board of Selectmen on April 7 that a data-entry error at the March 18 budget workshop resulted in $5,000 intended for MVFD GPS units being recorded as $500, leaving the budget $4,500 short.

Bernstein said he would like to correct the record; the recording clerk responded that the correction would be made when the Board of Finance approves the March 18 meeting minutes at its next regular meeting. First Selectwoman Jennifer Mahr said the special meeting held after the Public Hearing was intended to make necessary changes before the referendum, and therefore, a separate correction to the March 18 minutes was not needed for this action.
