adopted:
RESOLUTION 104-907 AUTHORIZING
BUDGET
HIGHWAY
Whereas
extensive repairs have been required and
authorized to the Town Highway
Department Caterpillar Loader and....
Whereas these repairs far exceeded any perceived or budgeted amount such that these costs have a severe negative
impact on the budgeted
amount for DA 5130.4 Machinery — Contractual,
resulting in the depletion of appropriations as of August 31, 2007 and...
Whereas the Town Highway Fund
revenues have exceeded planned revenues in the amount of $15,511.38 through
work accomplished under FEMA programs thus effectively adding to the Fund’s
cash balances by that same amount,
Now therefore it is resolved
to increase revenues in DA4960 FEMA by the amount of $10,000.00 and increase
appropriation account DA5130.4 by $10,000.00 thus raising the modified budget
amount to $54,100.00 to provide for remaining necessary machinery repairs for
fiscal year 2007, and further...
The Highway Superintendent is
encouraged by this resolution to minimize expenditures from this account for
the remainder of fiscal year 2007 in order to preserve additional earned
revenues, thus improving end of year fund balances.
This action has no effective
impact on the taxpayer other than reducing earned revenue balances which were
in excess of budget.
