At the Sept. 15 meeting, the Bryan City Council approved Ordinance number 44 20 25 to appropriate $56,726 to the city’s electric fund for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2025. Councilmembers voted to suspend the rules and approve the emergency appropriation during the meeting.
City staff said the funds were reimbursement the electric department received after providing mutual aid to other utilities and entities, including Montpelier, Lansing (Mich.), and in relation to the JV4 transmission line.
