Ozark council approves two excess-budget expenditures for street work and Eastgate Park

The Ozark City Council unanimously approved two expenditures that exceeded the amounts budgeted for the fiscal year. The council voted to approve an excess-budget payment for the Street Department and a separate excess-budget payment for Eastgate Park. The approvals came during the council’s regular meeting after the presiding officer opened the item and a council member moved to approve each overage. Both motions passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The motions did not specify exact vendors or detailed line-item breakdowns in the meeting record. The council treated each item as a discrete budget adjustment and did not attach additional conditions or amendments during the vote. The approvals followed routine agenda business that also included minutes approval, a change order for the Flowers Center renovation and a lease agreement added to the agenda later in the meeting. The council adjourned after final comments and a motion to close the session.
