Council approves $11,500 budget transfer for municipal election mailer

The Homewood City Council approved a budget amendment on July 28 to cover a newly required municipal election mailer, transferring $11,500 from account O110/05/4900 to O111/573600 for maintenance contracts. City Clerk Segars explained the transfer was needed to cover the mailer cost; he said the funds were available within the budget but required reallocation. Councilor Nelms moved the item and Councilor Woolverton seconded; the council approved the amendment on a 7-0 voice vote. The action appears in the minutes as Resolution 25-1-31. The transcript does not detail the legal requirement that prompted the mailer, the vendor, or the mail date; those operational details will be documented in clerk’s office records and election administration files.
