Committee puts proposed transfers on for passage to repair private sewer line and cover fire fleet repairs
Summary
The committee moved to put on for passage an ordinance that transfers $400,000 to an emergency rental-housing remediation fund for a private sewer-line replacement in Mount Airy and $750,000 to cover unexpected Cincinnati Fire Department fleet repairs.
The Budget and Finance Committee advanced an ordinance transferring city funds to address two immediate capital needs.
Doctor Dudes (city finance staff) presented the final adjustment ordinance and told the committee it would transfer “$400,000 from the general fund unappropriated surplus to the emergency remediation of defects in rental housing fund” to be used for “private sewer line replacement, at the apartment complex on Kirby Avenue, in Mount Airy.” He also said the ordinance would transfer and appropriate “$750,000 within the non-personnel budget for the Cincinnati Fire Department” to cover fleet repairs beyond what was expected for the fiscal year.
Council members expressed support for addressing the sewer-line problem quickly; Councilman Brabeck said the transfer was an appropriate, proactive step to help affected residents. The committee chair then directed that the item be put on for passage — that is, scheduled for passage on the committee’s agenda — during the session.
The item was presented as a final adjustment ordinance; committee members did not record a roll-call vote on final adoption during this meeting. The committee’s action places the ordinance on the committee’s passage calendar to be considered for formal adoption as part of the council’s budget-adjustment sequence.
