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. ~>~ Christopher Colsey, Supervisor Town of Wappinger .
