Finance Committee: Request for FY23 Reserve Fund Transfer
To: FINCOM
From: Fidel Maltez, Town Manager
Date: May 25, 2023
It is respectfully requested that a transfer for $10,000 be made from the
FINCOM Reserve Fund to the accounts shown below, for unforeseen or
extraordinary expenses:
16508584-584405 Forestry Bucket Truck $10,000
The FY22 Capital budget included $275,000 for a Forestry Bucket Truck. Our
staff researched and tested several units and in February 2022 chose a unit
with the best options and attachments for our use. A purchase order was
created for $258,523.00 releasing the excess ($16,747 to the general fund).
The truck has a one-year build cycle. In February 2023, we checked on the
status, and found that the manufacturer could not deliver the same truck for
the original quote due to unforeseen increases in some of the components. I
am requesting $10,000 to absorb the increase.
