Westborough Advisory Finance Committee approves $130,000 in mid-year transfers. The Committee unanimously approved four interdepartmental transfers June 22 to address budget shortfalls, including $15,000 from Library Salary and Wages to Police Expenses for increased hiring and training costs, with Police Chief Todd Minardi citing unexpected staffing vacancies and academy tuition. Three additional transfers totaling $26,000 covered a commercial property tax appraisal, legal expenses, and emergency housing for three homeless veterans, per Finance Director Jon Steinberg and Assistant Town Manager Kimberly Foster.
The largest single transfer, $89,000 to Insurance Expense drawn from salary savings across four departments, covered unexpectedly high unemployment insurance claims.
