Council rejects split amendment, approves original $40,000 budget transfer

Aug 25, 2026

Council debated and rejected an amendment to split a $40,000 transfer into two $20,000 lines, then approved the original budget-transfer motion by roll call (Councilor Jones No; Councilor Pagano Yes; Councilor Simcheck Yes; Mayor Rustin Yes).

The full story

A councilmember moved to amend resolution 26‑13 to change the set amount to $40,000 and subsequently proposed splitting that amount into two $20,000 transfers (one to gasoline, one to a debit line). After discussion the council rejected the 20k/20k amendment and returned to the original motion, which passed on roll-call.
