OLD BUSINESS • Fly 2015 Contract Amount Changes Gail Wilson reported that dollar amounts may not be transferred from one contract to another, after contracts are signed. Therefore, the $300 transfer of funds from the Community Health Center to St. Vincent de Paul agreed upon at the 1/1612014 Human services meeting has been reversed. The second contract change refers to the special Needs Fund set up by the Human Services Committee. The Town Auditor stated that a special reeds fund cannot be set up.
