Committee reviews multiple end-of-year funding requests and a large reserve fund transfer.

The committee will consider several appropriation transfers to address budget shortfalls. Key requests include $700,000 for member insurance due to unexpected rate increases, $130,000 for DPW Facilities utilities, and $170,000 for unanticipated maintenance expenses caused by winter weather and an electrical failure.

Other items include a $30,515.94 request from Recreation to purchase a Low-Speed Vehicle for Whitehorse Beach parking enforcement, and $53,765 for Fire Department technical services.

Finally, the committee will discuss a request to transfer the remaining $110,554 from the Advisory & Finance Reserve Fund to help offset a massive $3,074,542.25 deficit in the Snow & Ice budget caused by severe winter weather.
