Lakemore council amends 2025 appropriations in Ordinance 18-92-2025
Summary
Ordinance 18-92-2025 increases several appropriations in the village budget, including general fund adjustments and allocations to a police canine fund and parks-and-recreation donation fund; the resolution was adopted as an emergency measure.
The Village of Lakemore Council adopted Ordinance 18-92-2025 to amend Ordinance 18-74-2024 and make appropriations for remaining expenses during the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2025.
Why it matters: The ordinance adjusts the village’s 2025 appropriations to reflect new expenditures, donation receipts and interfund advances, enabling the village to lawfully pay the items listed and to record new revenue where indicated.
Key appropriation and revenue adjustments (as read on the record): Council approved an increase in appropriations from the general fund of $26,200 to cover retainer fees, credit card fees, building supplies and to advance funds to the parks fund. The resolution also referenced the police canine fund (numbered on the record as 20 82) with $193.58 recorded for canine expenses, and a Parks and Recreation donation fund with entries that the clerk read as “$29.00 $66,200” tied to family-event and summer youth program expenses and an advance from the general fund to the parks donation fund. The clerk and finance staff read the ordinance language aloud; the meeting record contains the amounts as presented on the floor.
Action taken: Council moved, seconded and adopted Ordinance 18-92-2025 by roll-call vote. The ordinance text declares the measure an emergency necessary for the immediate preservation of health, safety and welfare and therefore ordered immediate effect where allowed by law.
Discussion versus action: The ordinance was presented and read by the clerk and enacted on the record. Council did not attach separate amendments during the meeting. Some numeric items were read rapidly and include formatting in the record that may require review by the finance office for exact bookkeeping entries.
Next steps: Village treasury and finance staff will process payments and post the appropriation increases and advances in the municipal accounting system in accordance with the ordinance language and applicable audit requirements.
