Council amends tax budget and approves purchases tied to William Henry Harrison Park work
Summary
Council approved a tax-budget amendment connected to William Henry Harrison Park and the meeting record shows three purchase orders for park work and a separate $16,000 pipe repair on US 50; staff said park-related vendor costs will be reimbursed from a state capital grant.
Council declared Resolution 2025-24 an emergency and approved an amendment to the 2025 tax budget and appropriations that council said is in conjunction with the William Henry Harrison Park grant.
During the treasurer’s report council recorded three purchase orders issued this month tied to the park: JD Grama and Company for $23,460 and Ultifiber for $11,896 for work at William Henry Harrison Park. Separately, the council issued a $16,000 purchase order to Complete Contractors for a pipe repair on U.S. 50 at Shelly Lane; staff said the two park vendor payments will be reimbursed from the village’s state capital grant and that the pipe repair costs are being pursued for reimbursement as well because the village disputes responsibility for maintenance on that segment of U.S. 50.
Council asked the public to check tax-deduction details before donating to the CIC (a 501(c)(3) set up to accept contributions for the park). Staff and the mayor said the CIC can receive donations, but they advised residents to consult accountants about federal deductibility; representatives said the CIC accepts donations for park elements and related programming.
Treasurer and staff directed finance follow-up for audit and grant reimbursement procedures. The audio records the motion to amend the tax budget and the measure’s adoption under emergency rules; the vote was recorded by voice as “Aye” but the audible record did not list individual roll‑call names on the audio.
