The Town Board along with the Town Clerk congratulated the girls, presented Certificates and
thanked their parents and coaches for their dedication, hard work and sacrifices that resulted in
achieving the title of “New York Junior Girls State Champs” (13 & 14 yrs). The girls won 18
games with only two losses, during the summer. These girls also won the Championship two
years ago as 12 year olds.

involvement with the NYS Office for People with Developmental Disabilities.
Scott Owen & Margaret Dunnio from O’Connor, Davies, Munns & Dobbins, LLP (Bennett
Kielson), presented some of the highlights of the 2010 Audit. He complemented the Town for
doing the financial statement in a difficult and time consuming format. The Town received a
“Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting”. Margaret, the Audit
Manager, explained the largest areas of positive General Fund variances were in Franchise fees
and Fines and Forfeitures. On the Expenditure side, the actual expenditures were $10,936,809,
which was $311,945 better than budget. The largest area in savings occurred in the Town Clerk
General Government support area. Over all, when the budget was originally adopted, it was
anticipated that $18,510 would have to be used from the General fund balance. After
amendments and transfers during the year it was then anticipated that $32,327 would have to be
used from the General fund balance. In actuality, the fund balance was increased by $702,102.
The year was finished with a General Fund Balance of 6,775,077. The Town Outside Villages
Fund is divided into Police and other. The Police fund finished $367,679 better on the revenue
side and $375,872,000 better on the expenditure side. At the end of 2010, there was a balance of
$5,201,750. The Town Outside Villages Fund-Other Revenue finished $126,632 better than
budget and the expenditures exceeded by $698,383. The Town Outside Villages Fund ended in a
deficit of $443,566.
Summary of Public Comments:
Eileen Larkin, Palisades, questioned why building permit fees are high. She spoke about Tax
Cert Settlements and asked what percentage of the budget will be affected.
