Re: GS #2891 (Fuel questions)
Verbal request for
1. Fuel expenditures for the month of May 2022.
2. Town policy to use city fuel lines.
3. Copy of fuel cards for the city and their expenditures.
Dear Joe Smith [Mail to: jbusch7lAmmail.com]:
The Town of Gulf Stream received your public record request on June 16, 2022. Your request and
response to part one of your request can be found at the following link:
https://i)ortal.laserfiche.com/Portal/DocView.aspx?id=l 79296&r0o=r-43 0l 00cc
As to part two of your request, the Town does not have a formal policy regarding use of city fuel
lines. The Town Commission has approved, as part of a salary package, certain benefits that
include a car allowance and/or fuel. While not responsive to your request, attached as a
courtesy, are meeting minutes from May 1981 that show these benefits have been in place and
approved by Town Officials dating back to that time. This included the Town Clerk being
provided with $200 and 30 gallons of gas per month as part of her salary package. With regards
to part three of your request, there is no such record as the Town does not use fuel cards.
We consider this request closed.
Sincerely,
t r � n* W(
Deputy Town Clerk

The Town Manager presented three financial statements for consideration,
The statements are a part of the minutes. The Town Manager also explained
two proposed resolutions which would create one operating bank account and
one payroll account. Any one of the five Commissioners or the Town Manager
could sign checks on both accounts. Any expenditure in the Operating
Account of $500.00 or more would requite two signatures. The advantage of
the new check writing proceedure would give the Town maximum ability to
invest idle funds at the maximum rate of interest.
Upon motion by Commissioner Hunter, seconded by Commissioner Armour the
Commission adopted Resolution 81-6. Operating Account.
Upon motion by Commissioner Hunter, seconded by Commissioner Armour the
Commission adopted Resolution 81-7. Payroll Account.

Randolph to draft "post haste" the appropriate resolution to support this
change. The Commission moved that this be done.
