Correspondence: Bill Sheehan requested further clarification on the totals in the Special
Revenue reports presented by the Director of Finance, Kimberly Allen. Ron Fedor raised
questions regarding the accumulation of money in Special Revenues and how the money is
expended. Director Allen stated the totals are presented as monthly and also year-to-date on
the reports. She added that the Special Revenue line is used to help offset costs of activity
programs that may not be well attended in addition to covering assistance programs for those in
need for Human Services departments.

Mr. Sheehan asked if the funds are present in the Town’s audit report and the Director said yes.
Mrs. Allen added that the Finance Department requires all Departments utilizing a Special
Revenue line are required to balance that line monthly.
Josh Kelly said that he sees this line as a “Enterprise Fund” and deems is necessary to ensure
programs can be run by the Town and we use the funds for innovation. He believes that the First
Selectman should be able to manage this system as it is set up and that checks and balances have
been put in place for Mr. Brule to do so appropriately.
Adjournment:
Motion by Bill Sheehan and seconded by Michael Rocchetti to adjourn the Regular Meeting of
the Board of Finance at 7:31pm.
