Finance Committee: June reports show corrected $7 million RDC appropriation error

City of Westfield Finance Committee · August 25, 2026

Summary

Staff reviewed June financial reports and said an earlier $7 million negative balance in RDC appropriation lines has been corrected and the fix appears in July reports; committee had no outstanding questions.

The Fiscal Officer reviewed the June appropriation, revenue and fund reports and said that some RDC appropriation lines had been budgeted under a different appropriation and caused a temporary negative balance. She described the issue as an "enormous negative, like, 7,000,000, negative balance," and said the accounts have since been corrected and the change is reflected in July reports.

Committee members had no further questions on the June materials. Staff said July reports will reflect the corrected balances and that they will continue to monitor appropriations and transfers to ensure appropriation lines are accurate moving forward.
