Motion: Councilor Patalino Second: Councilor Valenti
Authorization for the Comptroller to make budget modifications to the 2010 budget.
The Town Board authorizes the following budget modifications to the 2010 budget.
BUDGET AMENDMENT:
EXPLANATION:
Workmens compensation insurance costs in the general and highway funds have surpassed budget. This cost is allocated to the three funds which have employees based upon payroll totals and rates. Although the total aggregate cost is less than budget by $3,539, these two funds are higher due to increased rates and payroll.

EXPLANATION:
On March 17, 2010 the electric cables running between a transformer and the Town Hall had to be replaced due to an electrical outage. The cost of this work, performed by the Solvay Electric department, cost $11,744 and created an over budget condition. In order to pay this bill, additional funding is needed.
