Administration Issue Consider adoption of a Resolution authorizing the Town Manager to approve intradepartmental and interdepartmental transfers in an amount not to exceed $10,000 per occurrence once approved by the Finance Committee. Summary At the June 19, 2017 Finance Committee meeting, the Town Manager requested that he be authorized to make intradepartmental and interdepartmental transfers not to exceed $10,000.00. The Town Manager commented that this would help to reduce the number of transfers required to true-up the budget at the end of the year that require Council action. The Finance Committee had discussion and agreed with this recommendation based on the fact that if these transfers were approved by the Finance Committee there would be enough checks and balances to monitor these types of transactions. The Chairman of the Finance Committee brought this recommendation to Council in his finance report at the June 20, 2017 meeting to apprise Council of the recommendation that would be on the next agenda for Council consideration and approval.

Summary Vinton staff partnered with Draper Aden and Associates to apply for the VBAF Grant in the amount of $50,000 in May of 2017 to conduct an Environmental Phase I and II for the Gish Mill Property. The Town was recently notified that our application was accepted and execution of a Performance Agreement is necessary to receive the funds and track the benefits associated with the project’s completion. The VBAF grant does require a 50% match, although we are able to use our purchase of the property as the Town’s portion, so no additional Town funds are required to move forward.
