Letter from Town Manager regarding approval for a potential transfer request
from the Reserve Fund for the Police Dept. to purchase a new Radar Gun at
approximately $750.00. According to the letter, Board of Selectmen has approved
the request. Exact amount of the transfer is unknown at this time expense account
not at zero. Thi request might not be needed, but inorder to place order by
May 14, 1982, they are requesting approval by Finance Committee.
After lengthy discussion, it was decided that we should not take action on
potential transfers. If at some time the Police Dept, expense account was at
zero and they had a need for a transfer that could be justified and funds were
available in the reserve fund, we would look favorable'on the request.
At this time it was the opinion of the Committee that we should take no action.
