2.
Selectmen’s Monthly Expenditure Report:
Mr. Matters reported on the Town side, they were approximately
$ 70,000 under budget. On the School side, it was approximately $ 131,000 over budget.
Chairman Handfield was told by the Bookkeeper from FES the amount over budget was really $ 78, 858. Discussion followed.
First Selectman’s Report: none
Old Business:
Possible School Deficit in 09-10 Budgets.
Chairman Richard Handfield addressed the BOF the FES budget was over by $78,858 as told to him by the Bookkeeper from the School. It was apparent that in January or February of this year two Special Ed students came to FES and the cost was possibly overlooked.
Discussion followed. Members were concerned that the Supt of Schools misinformed the public about the budget that there needs to be better communication between the BOE and the BOF in regards to their monthly expenditures. The Auditor, Mr. Rusilowicz will be available in August and he will look into the matter to see where the problem lies.
Mr. Handfield stated he would get in contact with Brian Mahoney from the State to look into the matter. Several members suggested the BOE give a monthly expenditure report to the BOF to inform where the money is being spent each month.
Thomas Craney made a motion that the BOF send a letter to the BOE to have either the Supt of Schools and/or BOE Chairperson to present an expenditure report each month at the BOF meetings, set in the same format as the First Selectman’s presentations.
Nancy Heinonen seconded the motion.
Voice Vote: Unanimous Motion passed.
New Business: none
Correspondence: none
Adjournment:
Thomas Craney made a motion to adjourn. Nancy Heinonen seconded the motion. Meeting adjourned at 8pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Shaun Moll/BOF Clerk
