Council fronts Monrovia EMS funds from Rainy Day to keep construction on schedule
Summary
The council approved a temporary Rainy Day appropriation of $210,183.56 so the county can front costs for a Monrovia Township EMS station and be reimbursed quarterly by the developer.
The Morgan County Council approved a one‑time Rainy Day appropriation of $210,183.56 on Aug. 4 to front construction costs for a Monrovia Township EMS station, with staff saying the amount will be reimbursed by a developer over upcoming quarters.
County staff member Josh explained the arrangement during the meeting: “This allows us to front that money out of Rain Day until we get the rest of our payments, which come each quarter.” He said the appropriation acts as a placeholder until quarterly developer payments arrive.
Chip Keller moved to approve the appropriation; Troy Sprinkle seconded. The motion passed 6‑0.
Council members confirmed that the Rainy Day fund would be reimbursed when developer payments arrived and that the county intended to use the funds only as temporary cash flow support for the EMS project. No legal citation or ordinance number was provided during the discussion.
The council did not discuss specific contract language in the public meeting; staff indicated the project is under a developer payment schedule and that the appropriation is a short‑term measure to keep construction on schedule.
