Supervisors approve $5,000 emergency spending authorities in split votes
Summary
The board authorized the Road Foreman and the Secretary/Treasurer each to spend up to $5,000 for emergent purchases or repairs; both motions passed 2-1 with Supervisor Todd Oberdorf voting no.
The Buffalo Township Supervisors on Jan. 6 authorized two separate emergency spending authorities, each capped at $5,000. Glenn Troup moved and Paul Haines seconded both measures to allow the Road Foreman and the Secretary/Treasurer to make emergent purchases or repairs up to $5,000; each motion passed by a 2-1 vote with Supervisor Todd Oberdorf opposed.
The minutes record the votes and the dollar cap but do not identify specific scenarios or vendors for use of the funds. The split votes indicate at least one supervisory concern about granting this on-the-spot spending authority; no amendment or further restrictions were recorded in the minutes.
