The report said that earlier timing variations in JEA in‑lieu payments recovered in the most recent month and that officials expect more receipts in the coming month.

On property taxes, staff said collections are roughly $238,000 below the same period last year but that approximately $4 million remains to be collected for the fiscal year compared with about $3.5 million at the same point last year. “Everything’s basically in line as far as revenue goes,” Finance staff said while answering committee questions.

A committee member asked how the term “appropriate funds” is being used in the budget amendments and whether capital items would require transfers from the general fund to the capital outlay fund; staff replied that these specific items will be funded from fund balance and that a capital transfer would be made only if necessary. Staff also suggested the committee could address detailed questions about the term during review of the related budget amendments.

No formal vote was taken on the revenue report; it was presented as informational to frame later budget amendment decisions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Jackson, TN January 28, 2025 Budget Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Jackson City finance staff reported non‑property tax revenue is about 4.5% higher year‑to‑date and $923,000 ahead of last year, while property tax collections lag by roughly $238,000 with approximately $4 million remaining to be collected.","taxTitle","Jackson City, Madison County, Tennessee","taxId",5104,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6357995,"City outlines Tyler Munis conversion timeline and ticketing consolidation; P‑card policy moves to legal review",0,800000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2213027-a0553e089f2a44bcba85f58db8c71ac6&start=800&end=800","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2213027-a0553e089f2a44bcba85f58db8c71ac6/thumbnail_800000.jpg","/articles/6357995/Jackson-City/Madison-County/Tennessee/City-outlines-Tyler-Munis-conversion-timeline-and-ticketing-consolidation-Pcard-policy-moves-to-legal-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6357995-199030160c274c273222c7e0eb4f4614/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207548&Signature=QTwlKQtGuDuWdIhQgidqxldlup5tLTcjiw6qj7SKoxDoVFJxWoX4qOYzrMwKQRhqCRcMdVs3YS8tG5ON5yfRVdJj0WCkldpXUkWZgDkwun4-rtc7JuReJJqD-g0topzVFgxWUfC~QLL4WXZsYupzj7AUNbmyX5eLTnyNjSRU015kOvVbE4Jw5W92GvTzTiKqG99jEzKW0rYwOvIvMtn7ec5IoL6wzm7BqAtV7sW1ewTbQRO67uEPcfonrkM7dODeBsab99V4QFWgK2sK5tTZ7ns3XNPltz525b3pPCHE7bg7WyCkiKMIGkNiHbIHDDYdssnXZMf9qR29QUymEEeDwA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Jackson City Budget Committee they have scheduled trainings and a phased conversion plan for the Tyler Munis financial system and that the city aims to finish key modules — including utility billing and property tax — by October.

Staff said they have arranged two training rounds from Tyler for the budgeting module, first for finance and administrative staff and later for department heads, and that those sessions run into May because of the volume of material to convert. “If we do this in this module, it will eliminate those things because we’ll see those errors immediately,” Finance staff said, referring to prior translation errors and carryovers caused by the budget conversion.

Staff also reported the city is scheduling conversion and training for the H and S utility billing system and expects the Tyler ticketing module to be populated with historical tickets over time as the other systems are retired. Separately, staff said a new P‑card (purchasing card) policy is nearly complete; the policy team has met multiple times and plans to send the draft to legal and human resources for review before it may go to the policy committee for citywide adoption.

Zach and other purchasing-team staff were credited for drafting the card policy and for participating in the review sessions. Staff said the ticketing consolidation should reduce recurring subscription costs over time but warned the conversion will require effort to import legacy tickets and configure workflows.

No formal votes were taken on the Munis schedule or the P‑card policy; staff requested the committee note progress and allowed staff to proceed with scheduling and legal review.","Staff updated the Jackson City Budget Committee on progress toward fully converting financial and utility systems into Tyler Munis, scheduled trainings, and steps to consolidate ticketing systems; a new purchasing card (P‑card) policy is nearly complete and will go to legal and HR for review.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6358000,"Budget committee approves capital and IT amendments, funds truck and paving purchases",140,210000,350000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2213027-a0553e089f2a44bcba85f58db8c71ac6&start=210&end=350","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2213027-a0553e089f2a44bcba85f58db8c71ac6/thumbnail_210000.jpg","/articles/6358000/Jackson-City/Madison-County/Tennessee/Budget-committee-approves-capital-and-IT-amendments-funds-truck-and-paving-purchases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6358000-447db1a4cc96b40afcd72200e680fb1e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207548&Signature=WVXlLi2TEmzlYOTSBzaKN9dJHhO4gcgEBBCCMFUGoLswdVrSNDCsyN6Bwwc2KvirVbBuuaiUW8el9Vl-regVIoOCwQnqXmRrlxVWRrK41brFERraRxFNkO7jD9QGOoGYMBs3nI7oEtYQl-3qYWcj95lrkx1D9jlrwFgozacY2zFEQtV-2OSuuUo6kqAKYOuunbY3ySytzWJVg3lLiAT2YkAXLLMCA2hhKkZqpFnnA60TgJ4JfblxnW7C5P~VEH4GmkP9T-K8aERCuxgg5Tr7kK4m2cfuKw6z9imY8XY2swkxPW~YFnyhQeYSPHnz13AEPMKaZUct~9vXty8t3fz8iw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jackson City’s Budget Committee approved five budget amendments on voice votes to move money for street maintenance equipment, IT and security systems, a grant-backed shredder truck and a ticketing consolidation project.

Committee members voted to appropriate fund balance for a tandem truck with wet pack (budget amendment No. 38) at $187,941 and to appropriate fund balance for a paving machine (budget amendment No. 43) at $254,000. The committee also approved a $50,000 transfer from IT to cover additional access-control costs for a building (amendment No. 39), a $31,000 appropriation for consolidating the city’s ticketing systems into the city’s Tyler ticketing module (amendment No. 42), and an amendment (No. 40) to recognize grant revenue and appropriate funds for a shredder truck tied to H and S capital purchases.

Finance staff said the tandem truck and paving machine were intended carryover capital items from the prior budget but were omitted during the conversion and bookkeeping process; staff said the two items will be funded from fund balance and accounted for with capital transfers if necessary. “This is coming from fund balance. It is a capital item,” Finance staff said when explaining amendment No. 38. On the shredder truck, staff said the grant was described as a $250,000 award but the city would record $200,000 in revenue and add roughly $100,000 to the department’s capital budget because portions of the originally planned spending were shifted.

The $50,000 IT transfer was described as moving savings from IT to cover additional access-control hardware and installation; the committee approved the transfer to let work proceed. The Tyler ticketing appropriation was presented as a consolidation step: the city currently operates several separate ticketing systems and staff said moving to the Tyler ticketing module will take time to convert historical tickets but should reduce ongoing subscription costs by eliminating three separate systems.

All five amendments were moved and seconded during the meeting and passed by voice vote; minutes record members answering “Aye” and no vocal opposition. The committee did not record individual member vote tallies in the transcript. Staff indicated the carryover omissions resulted from translation and process errors during the budgeting conversion and said changes in how the city processes capital carryovers should prevent similar omissions in future cycles.

The committee’s actions are bookkeeping and appropriation adjustments to place funds in the correct budget accounts so the city can pay for equipment and projects already contracted or planned. No ordinance or long-term financing plan was enacted in the meeting; the amendments appropriate existing fund balance, recognize a grant, or transfer departmental funds to meet project costs.

Minutes show the committee moved on to other business after the votes and recessed the meeting following the remaining agenda items.","Jackson City budget committee approved five budget amendments to appropriate funds for vehicle and equipment purchases, IT access control, a ticketing consolidation, and a grant-backed shredder truck; each amendment passed on voice votes.","actionData","errors"]
