2026-11-09 - Municipal Caucus - Finance presented the transfers (about $3.43 million). Roughly $3 million moves from the employee group health insurance account to the insurance fund commission to cover premiums, workers compensation and settlements through year end; the source was checked with a broker and the benefits office. The remainder covers HVAC needs and a related contract amendment, with about $400,000 for Buildings and Streets maintenance sourced from Public Works salaries and other Public Works and Public Safety accounts. A member asked whether quality of life inspector funding is still available for the positions being advertised; finance said six funded vacancies exist and offered to confirm. Members asked why the known insurance liability was not in the adopted budget (finance said it should have been) and requested year-to-date expenditure reports and the supporting memos.
