Selectboard consolidates $285,000 dispatching contract into Emergency Management budget for transparency
Summary
The board approved an administrative reallocation consolidating the $285,000 public safety dispatching contract into a single Public Safety Technical Services line, transferring $142,500 from Police, $71,250 from Fire and $71,250 from Rescue.
Deputy Town Manager and Finance Director Amber N. Baker asked the Selectboard to consolidate the town's $285,000 dispatching contract into the Emergency Management budget to improve transparency and simplify financial reporting. The transfer moves $142,500 from the Police technical services line, $71,250 from Fire technical services, and $71,250 from Rescue technical services into a single Public Safety Technical Services account.
The board approved the administrative interdepartmental transfer unanimously, noting the change does not increase the total appropriated amount for the fiscal year. The motion, made by Betsy Paret and seconded by Leland Morgan, records the reallocations and indicates the policy authority for such transfers under the town's budget adjustment procedure.
