Council reviews $182,668 supplemental appropriation to buy police vehicles
Summary
Finance Committee described Ordinance 25-03, a supplemental appropriation of $182,668 from the police fund to pay for vehicle purchases; officials said the cash is available in fund carryover.
Councilmembers discussed Ordinance 25-03, a proposed supplemental appropriation moving $182,668 from the police fund into capital expenses to purchase police vehicles.
Councilmember Osborne, reporting for the Finance Committee, told the council that documentation about the vehicles was distributed to members and that the funds are available in the police fund's excess revenue (carryover). One speaker estimated the police fund carryover at roughly $300,000, and staff said the $182,668 appropriation would be covered by that balance.
No formal vote on the supplemental appropriation is recorded in the workshop transcript. Council members emphasized that the clerk had forwarded information on the vehicles and that from a finance perspective the appropriation is feasible given the cited carryover.
The committee did not present additional details about vehicle models or procurement timelines in the workshop; staff indicated more documentation was available to councilmembers via the clerk's materials.
