Board authorizes $229,125.06 repair-reserve draw to replace elementary chiller
Summary
Byron-Bergen's board approved an emergency draw of $229,125.06 from the Repair Reserve Fund to replace a nonfunctioning elementary school chiller; the expenditure will be repaid to the reserve from the general fund.
The Byron-Bergen Board of Education on Aug. 22 approved a resolution to expend $229,125.06 from the district's Repair Reserve Fund to replace a nonfunctioning chiller at the elementary school.
The motion, moved by L. Smith and seconded by C. Matthews, cited New York State General Municipal Law, Section 6-d as permitting the use of repair-reserve monies for emergency capital repairs. The resolution specifies the $229,125.06 covers the chiller unit, shipping, installation and testing; the funds are to be repaid to the repair reserve from the General Operating Fund. The motion passed 6 Yes, 0 No.
Board discussion framed the replacement as an emergency repair that did not require a public hearing because of the statute permitting reserve use for emergency capital expenditures. The board assigned follow-up to the business office to manage repayment to the reserve.
