TO: Town Clerk
RE: FOil No. 89
I attach for you a copy of Resolution No. 2011-089, as approved by the Town Board on
February 14, 2011, and Resolution 2011-146, for consideration by the Town Board on April
11 th, in respect to the aforementioned FOIL. There have been no other resolutions amending
the budget for 2011.
As to "transfers done in-house by Supervisor that do not require Town Board approval," the
protocol by the Town of Wappinger is that all budget amendments are done through the Town
Board as the Town utilizes a Town Accountant (civil servant) who is not an Officer of the
Town.
The aforementioned does not include those transfers performed by the Accounting
Department through the processes of payroll and invoices as approved by the Town Board.
As the Supervisor does not have access to the accounting software, there have been no
transfers done by the Supervisor.
I close this portion of the FOil request and defer the payment totals of the engineering and
legal fees to the Accounting office.
