Council allocates $3,000 from economic development fund for community events
Summary
Council approved a $3,000 allocation from the city’s economic development fund to support four community events: National Night Out, Hall of Treats, Trunk or Treat and the Halloween parade.
The Sunbury City Council voted to allocate $3,000 from the economic development fund to support four upcoming community events on May 14.
The funds were proposed to be split evenly across four events — National Night Out, Hall of Treats, Trunk or Treat and the Halloween parade — with the treasurer processing receipts and ensuring expenditures come from the proper line items. The proposer said purchases would be timed to take advantage of sales to reduce costs.
Council members asked who would manage the expenditures; staff said police-sponsored events would flow through the police chief and the treasurer/bookkeeper, with receipts submitted for reimbursement and record-keeping. The motion was seconded and approved in voice/roll-call votes; council members recorded as voting yes in the transcript include Iaster, Savage, Barnhart and Martina.
The council noted the economic development fund’s balance would cover the allocation. No additional appropriations or a formal policy change were adopted in the meeting record; the council emphasized receipts and finance reports would be required for accountability.
