Resolution to Transfer Funds to Capital Projects

Whereas, the approved 2008 budget contained a provision to transfer $65,000 from the general fund; and

Whereas, without reason this transfer did not occur in 2008; and

Whereas, the town board is aware that the lining of the large pool needs to be replaced; and

Whereas, the town board is aware that the chemical controllers for the pools need to be replaced; and

Whereas, these replacements are estimated to cost $65,000; and

Whereas, there are insufficient funds in the H38-54 Parks/Rec/Pool capital fund to make these repairs; and

Therefore, be it resolved that the approved budget transfer of $65,000 from the General Fund shall be made to the H38-54 Parks/Rec/Pool capital project fund to enable these repairs.

Whereas, Town Code Chapter 30: PROCUREMENT POLICY § 30-8. c. states that The Town Supervisor, with the advice of town personnel shall, each year, shall create a list of authorized purchasers per General Municipal Law Article 5-A §104-b 3 f; and

Whereas, good practices cited by GASB, GAAP and NYS OSC require segregation of responsibilities for purchasing and payment for purchases; and

Whereas, the town supervisor is to recover for the town any funds expended without proper authorization of the town board;

Whereas, Town Law 3.§29.4 states that the supervisor shall keep an accurate and complete account of the receipt and disbursement of all moneys; and

Whereas, accounts receivable and investments are normally considered to be assets; and
Whereas, it is logical and practical for the town board to expect and to require timely and accurate financial information;
Therefore, be it resolved that the town board shall be provided with the supervisor's monthly expenditure detail report at least two business days before the first town board meeting of the month; and
Be it further resolved that the information in the report is to accurately report Opening Balances, Receipts, Disbursements, Closing Balances, Accounts Receivable, Opening Investment Balance and Closing Investment Balance for all funds of the town for the month being reported.
 

Resolution to Require an Enhanced Monthly Expenditure Budget Detail Report

Whereas, Town Law 3.§29.4 states that the supervisor shall keep an accurate and complete account of the disbursement of all moneys; and
Whereas, Town Law 8.§110 states that the town board may provide for the encumbering of appropriation accounts at more frequent intervals than the close of the fiscal year; and
Whereas, accounting of encumbrances throughout the year is practical as the current purchase order section regarding fiscal officer approval of funds states "I certify that there are moneys available to pay this order and the appropriation accounts have been encumbered for the amount of the order"; and

Whereas, Town Code Chapter 30-9-A requires that expenditures and or commitment to make payment or incur financial obligations of the Town shall not be made or entered into without prior written approval of the town board; and

Whereas, the town board requires timely and accurate financial information to properly weigh decisions about authorizing expenditures or commitments to incur financial obligations of the Town; and
Therefore, be it resolved that the town supervisor is to provide the town board with a monthly expenditure report at least two working days before the first town board meeting of the month; and
Be it further resolved that the information is to accurately and concisely report for each fund and each account the Approved Budget Appropriations, Modified Budget Appropriations, Outstanding Encumbrances, Expenditures Month to Date, Expenditures Year to Date, Available Balance, and Percentage of Modified Budget Used; and

Whereas, the town board requires timely and accurate financial information to properly weigh decisions about authorizing expenditures or commitments to incur financial obligations of the Town; and
Therefore, be it resolved that the town supervisor is to provide the town board with a monthly revenue report at least two working days before the first town board meeting of the month; and
Be it further resolved that the information is to accurately and concisely report for each fund and each account the Approved Budget Estimates, Modified Budget Estimates, Accounts Receivable, Revenue Month to Date, Revenue Year to Date, Unrealized Revenue, and Percentage of Modified Budget Estimates.

Resolution for Town Board Review of Personnel Related Expenditures

Whereas, personnel related expenditures are traditionally the largest category in the town budget; and

Whereas, employees are hired to perform duties during a number of hours each week that are specified and authorized by the town board; and

Whereas, employees may be afforded certain benefits at the time of hire as authorized by the town board; and

Whereas, the town board annually authorizes the total compensation, such as wages, salaries and benefits for employees; and

Whereas, the town board may require reports from the supervisor, pursuant to Town Law 3A-2-§ 51-3, concerning the conduct of the official business of the town and the performance by town officers and employees of their functions, powers and duties; and

Therefore, be it resolved that the town board authorizes and directs the supervisor to prepare a summary report for each employee containing the date of hire, authorized hours per week at date of hire, and benefits at date of hire; and

Be it further resolved that the summary report shall include, in addition to date of hire related information, any changes in hours per week and/or benefits that were authorized by the town board; and

Be it further resolved that attached to the report shall be copies of the minutes of the town board meeting where the date of hire related hours per week and benefits were authorized by the town board; and

Be it further resolved that attached to the report shall or copies of minutes of the town board meeting were changes were made to the authorized hours per week and/or to the authorized benefits; and

Be it further resolved that the supervisor may enlist the assistance of the town clerk and the supervisor's bookkeeper to prepare the report; and

Be it further resolved that the complete report shall be provided to the town board by February 15, 2009.

 

Resolution to Adopt Authorization Process

Whereas, Town Code Chapter 30-9-A requires that expenditures and or commitment to make payment or incur financial obligations of the Town shall not be made or entered into without prior written approval of the town board; and

Whereas, Town Code Chapter 30-3 requires that the procure process is determined the amount of estimated purchases; and

Whereas, Town Code Chapter 30-6 provides for exceptions to solicitation and documentation requirements; and

Whereas, Town Code Chapter 30-3-D requires that all information gathered in complying with the procedures of this section shall be preserved and filed with the documentation supporting the subsequent purchase or public works contract; and

Whereas, the town supervisor or his/her delegate has verified that there are sufficient appropriations to support this request; and

Whereas, the requestor is named on the town authorized purchaser list; and

Whereas, the requestor states that this/these expenditure(s) are for valid and legal purposes; and

Whereas, the requestor will provide to the town board proof that the goods or services have actually been received; and

Whereas, the requestor understands that the town board will audit the request prior to authorizing payment; and

Whereas, the requestor understands that he/she is responsible to remit any or all expenses that are disallowed by the town board;

Therefore be it resolved that the town board will use the following templates

□ up to $250 of Town Funds for supplies or equipment

□ $1000 to $3,000 of Town Highway Funds for supplies or equipment

to authorize audit the commencement of the appropriate procurement process in compliance with applicable policies; and

Be it further resolved that the town board will use the template for Emergency Commitment of Town or Town Highway Funds in the case of a duly declared emergency.

Resolution to Delegate Authorization to Department Head or Liaison to Ameliorate Unforeseen Risks

Whereas, Town Code Chapter 30-9-A requires that expenditures and or commitment to make payment or incur financial obligations of the Town shall not be made or entered into without prior written approval of the town board; and

Whereas, there are unforeseen situations where waiting for written approval of the town board to incur financial obligations will, at the discretion of the department head, cause more risk to an asset, person(s), program objectives, or to the legal obligations of the town; and

Whereas, the department head estimates that there are sufficient appropriations to support this request; and

Whereas, the department head is named on the town authorized purchaser list; and

Whereas, the department head states that this/these expenditure(s) are for valid and legal purposes; and

Whereas, the department head will provide to the town board proof that the goods or services have actually been received; and

Whereas, the department head understands that he/she is responsible to remit any or all expenses that are disallowed during audit by the town board;

Therefore be it resolved that the town board authorizes the department head to commence the appropriate procurement process in compliance with applicable policies; and

Therefore be it further resolved that in the absence of the department head, the assigned town board liaison may act for the department head and may use the authorization afforded to the department head to commence the appropriate procurement process in compliance with applicable policies; and

Therefore be it further resolved that the department head is required to inform the bookkeeper of the encumbrance within two business days; and

Be it further resolved that the town board authorizes the department head to commit the following expenditure(s)
