Board adopts FY25 second‑quarter budget amendment; awards DeMun speed‑table contract
Summary
At the June 10 meeting the Board of Aldermen adopted bill 7072 (FY25 second‑quarter budget amendment) and bill 7073 (contract with EMIER Contracting for DeMun speed table installation). Both ordinances were adopted on first‑day introduction by unanimous consent.
The Clayton City Board of Aldermen on June 10 approved two ordinances: a fiscal year 2025 second‑quarter budget amendment (Bill 7072) and a contract award for the DeMun speed‑table installation project (Bill 7073).
Budget amendment (Bill 7072)
The board voted to amend the FY25 budget to reflect recent bond proceeds for the municipal garage and to reallocate funds in the equipment replacement fund. City staff said the largest changes on the revenue side were bond proceeds tied to the municipal garage bond closing. On the expenditure side, staff highlighted delayed vehicle deliveries — notably two fire apparatus (a tiller and a pumper) ordered roughly 2½ years ago that now will not be received until FY26 — and an ambulance purchase that shifted into FY25 and increased equipment replacement fund activity by about $400,000. The ordinance was adopted on first reading and then, by unanimous consent, adopted on the day of introduction.
Contract award for DeMun speed table (Bill 7073)
Public Works recommended awarding the DeMun speed‑table installation contract to EMIER Contracting, the single bidder. The city’s engineer estimated $15,000 for the work; EMIER’s bid was $13,729. Staff recommended a $1,271 contingency and a total contract authorization of $15,000. City staff said they expect to phase construction to minimize traffic disruption and planned to complete the work before school resumed. The ordinance approving the contract was adopted on the day of introduction by unanimous consent.

What to watch next
Staff signaled follow‑up actions: finance staff will continue reporting FY25 revenue strength in use tax and track tornado‑related FEMA reimbursement work; Public Works will schedule the DeMun work and communicate timing and traffic impacts with the neighborhood. The budget amendment reflects accounting for the municipal garage bond proceeds and shifted equipment purchases; aldermen asked about maintenance pressures from deferred fire‑apparatus replacement and the city said additional maintenance and reserve planning will be needed.
Ending
Both ordinances were adopted without recorded opposition during the June 10 meeting. Staff promised additional scheduling and communications for the DeMun construction and continuing updates on the FY25 budget impact from bond proceeds and delayed equipment deliveries.
