BREMEN—The Bremen Town Council passed their annual end-of-the-year fiscal transfer ordinance and takes unused funds from certain accounts for town departments and appropriates it for other needs in the town. When this occurs, the money being transferred is typically from unused miscellaneous funds.

The three transfers are as follows: $3,071.38 from the police budget for ‘other services’ was transferred to an account for supplies. $347.40 from the fire budget for ‘other services’ was transferred to an account for capital outlay. $20,542.61 from the motor vehicle/highway (MVH) budget was transferred to an account for personal services.

Two invoices will be held-over to be paid in January. One is to Pfeiffer Construction Inc. for $33,000 with a billing date of Dec. 8, 2009, which represents a bill that has not been charged until recently. The town council is seeking to reach a settlement with the company regarding this bill. The other is to Pro Air Midwest LLC for $24,000 with a billing date of Dec. 12, 2022, which is for a fire department compressor that was on back order.
