Presentation of Invoices and Payments:
• Budget reviewed as well as NBT Account balances.
• Councilperson Barown inquired if the Town had a surplus does that surplus go into a reserve? Superintendent Garretson stated the Town can’t carry over more than the budget. There is a limit to what Town’s can carry over. Councilperson stated he thinks there is a limit that can go into reserves and the remainder has to go towards next year’s budget. The Town has never had this problem he was just inquiring.
• Supervisor stated NYS is changing the way the CHIPS money is dispersed to Towns for the end of the year. Currently the Town has paid December Highway invoices in January when the tax money comes in January. The State is holding back on sending the CHIPS money until all the invoices are paid for the year. Once the State receives the cancelled checks from the Town, then the CHIPS money is released. Supervisor Garretson will contact the bank and see about taking out a short term loan for a revenue anticipation loan to pay the invoices for the end of the year. Town Attorney Green will need to prepare the paperwork for the lending institute. Town Attorney Green stated the Town needs to get 3 different quotes form lenders to compare interest rates. The Town has a best value policy not necessarily lowest bid policy. A motion is made by Councilperson Barown for the Town Supervisor to take out a revenue anticipation note to cover the end of the year invoices, motion seconded by Councilperson Cornwell. Roll call vote is taken: Supervisor Garretson=yes, Councilperson Johnson-yes, Councilperson Cornwell=yes, Councilperson Barown=yes 4=yes and 0=No
