Town of Jay approves multiple line-item amendments to 2025 preliminary budget
Summary
At an Oct. 28 budget workshop the Town of Jay board approved a package of line-item amendments to the 2025 preliminary budget — including cuts to machinery equipment, modest salary increases, and changes to use of unexpended balances — and recorded the motions and seconds for each adjustment.
Supervisor Matt Stanley presented a resolution sheet listing changes made between the Tentative and Preliminary budgets and the board voted to adopt the proposed line-item amendments. The adjustments included modest salary increases (for the Town Board, Supervisor and Highway Superintendent), a $440,000 to $110,000 reduction in the Machinery Equipment line, and changes to snow-and-ice and debt-service accounts. Councilman Knut Sauer summarized the board's view, saying the draft was "Overall a good budget."
The board recorded motions, seconders and approval for each line-item amendment. Notable changes included an increase to Supervisor PS from $52,000 to $53,560 (Resolution #2024.2B) and a decrease in BAN Principal from $201,236 to $40,000 (Resolution #2024-98). The workshop minutes list each motion and the board marked each as adopted; movers and seconders were recorded in the minutes (TM = Tom McDonald; KS = Knut Sauer; SF = Steve Forbes). The board did not record individual roll-call vote tallies in the transcript beyond the word "OK" beside motions.
