Council OK’s $21K Request

WINNSBORO – The Town of Winnsboro’s Finance Committee considered a request Monday evening from Jesse Douglas, Director of Gas, Water and Sewer, for tracks for the excavator, a utility trailer, working tools, two sewer pumps, a chain saw and lab equipment for the sewer plant. During Town Council’s regular meeting, which followed, Council approved the $21,000 request.

Finance Director Kathy Belton also briefed Council on last month’s financial report. The report showed that revenues are up from last year and the Town is in a good place financially at this point, she said.

Council also agreed to waive a late fee for a Fairfield Memorial Hospital utility bill and allow them to make payments on their outstanding balance.

Council meets again May 7 at 6 p.m.
