Committee flags FY26 budget discrepancies, legal fees and $9,000 transfer for bridge
Summary
The Tucker Management Committee reviewed an updated FY26 budget, noted several ledger discrepancies that need verification (including a disputed gravel charge), and recorded a $9,000 transfer related to the Adam Miller bridge project; new legal fees tied to UVTA and contract reviews were also noted.
Kathy Damon, secretary-treasurer, presented an updated FY26 budget compiled from general ledger accounts and receipts and asked the committee to verify several discrepancies.
She noted new legal fees charged for UVTA and the Adam Miller contract reviews that the select-board requires, and said "There was transfer of $9,000 from Friends to the town Adam Miller for the bridge construction; the invoice was for $10,000 but the town withholds 10% until project completion." The committee also flagged a $345 gravel entry that Tom Kidder thought should be $245; Kathy said she will follow up with Mary to reconcile the line item.
The committee did not take formal fiscal action beyond recording the review; members requested follow-up verification of the flagged items before any budget amendments are proposed.
