Council notes excise-tax shortfall, approves budget adjustments
Summary
Council members recorded that excise-tax collections were well below budget and approved moving 'net income' to the maintenance account and removing a 'trash fee' line from the water budget while the clerk investigates missing collections.
During review of financial documents the council observed that excise-tax collections were much less than budgeted. The clerk, Sharon Richmond, was asked to check records to determine whether any collections were missing.
Council member Watts moved to transfer money shown on the general budget as 'net income' to the maintenance account, to remove the 'trash fee' line item from the water budget, and to approve the financial documents with those changes. Council member Wilkins seconded the motion; the council voted unanimously to approve the changes.
The minutes do not provide the numerical shortfall or the precise dollar amounts moved; the clerk's follow-up review was the only action recorded to clarify collections.
