Council approves agreement to seek $55,000 reimbursement for Queen City pool house; budget revision added

The City Council approved an agreement to allow the city to seek reimbursement of up to $55,000 from Kentuck for a project at the Queen City pool house and subsequently adopted a budget revision to record that reimbursement and create a Queen City Park project line item. The council voted unanimously to approve the agreement and the budget revision. The item came at the start of new business as an authorization to accept funding and to renew an associated contract; council members asked how the work would be funded and whether any additional reimbursement agreement was required. City staff said the reimbursement agreement approved in the meeting covers that requirement and that the revenue and a new Queen City Park line item would be added in a budget revision. City staff described the $55,000 figure as an estimate and said a separate budget revision (on the same agenda) would increase the appropriate revenue line and establish the project line item for Queen City Park. The council then moved and approved the budget revision. No statutes or other legal authorities were cited in the discussion beyond standard budget and contracting practice. The council did not set an exact project schedule in the discussion; staff said a budget revision would follow to reflect the reimbursement and that the initial agreement enables the city to be reimbursed.
