Council approves $100,000 budget amendment for Annex paving, parking and drainage
Summary
The City Council unanimously approved a $100,000 budget amendment to pay for paving around the Annex, the adjacent alleyway and a retaining wall, and approved a separate line-item increase to cover uniform expenses to be funded from a part-time salary line.
The City Council approved a budget amendment on July 15 to provide $100,000 for paving work around the Annex, the alley between the Annex and the new building and the construction of a retaining wall to address parking and drainage needs. A separate line-item increase to pay for uniforms was also added and will come from a part-time salary account.
Council members voted by voice to adopt the amendment after staff described the work as necessary to add parking and address drainage around the facility. "We are requesting a budget amendment today by unanimous consent to provide the funding of $100,000 for the paving that will be needed around the annex as well as the alleyway between this new building and annex and also to provide for a retaining wall," the city staff member said during the meeting.
The staff member told the council the amendment would also include additional money for uniforms, which "will come from his part time salary." A council member moved to adopt the amendment and another council member seconded; the council approved it by voice vote. The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally or exact amounts for the uniform line-item increase.
The action directs city staff to proceed with the paving, alley and retaining-wall work using the newly authorized funds and to adjust payroll/line items to accommodate the uniform payments. No construction contract, vendor name or project schedule was announced during the meeting.
Background: The council discussed the request during the regular meeting agenda; the council chair called for the motion and members approved it by voice.
The council did not specify a contractor, project timeline or the exact source of the $100,000 within the general fund; those details were not provided in the meeting record.
