Board signs payroll and accounts-payable warrants; assessor corrects $88,000 line for audit

The Phippsburg Select Board signed payroll warrant #7 in the amount of $20,757.03 and accounts-payable warrant #8 for $378,721.89, which the chair said includes a school payment and $25,000 for the transfer station. One member abstained on payroll warrant #7; the accounts-payable warrant was approved and signed.

On the assessor's certification, staff explained that approximately $88,000 that had been recorded on the municipal-appropriation line should instead appear on the overlay line; the board moved and signed the corrected assessor's certification so the audit records will match the intended accounting lines. As staff explained, "It was 88,000 and change that was on the municipal appropriation line that should have been on the overlay line."
