who moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, pursuant to Town Law, a Budget is prepared each

provision for additional amendments, the annual Budget shall be
adopted
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that, within the confines of
section 117 of the Town Law, where provision has been made in
the annual budget for specific, large expenditures, further
approval by the Town Board to consider the purchase of those
expenditures need not be sought, provided that no other part of j
the Town's Procurement Policy is circumvented.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Board permission to
seek bids on various large purchases may not be required if any
item is available through either State or County Bids.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Mr. Incoronato felt that because conditions change, this
resolution should be rephrased. This would allow any purchase
by the supervisor predicated on the passage of the budget 1 year
ahead of time. At the time it may have seemed appropriate,
but months later may not. Once something is in the budget, no
one can stop the purchase. A safety net is needed to rethink.
Limits must be set. Mrs. Smith explained, that only items that
are approved in the Budget can be purchased.
