Lakemore council requests auditor approval to create BJA grant fund for 2025
Summary
Council passed Resolution 7474-2025 asking the Ohio auditor to approve creation of a BJA grant fund (2054) to budget and track grant receipts for a Bureau of Justice Assistance award.
The Village of Lakemore Council adopted Resolution 7474-2025 requesting approval from the Ohio Auditor of State to create a dedicated BJA grant fund (Fund 2054) to budget and track incoming grant receipts from a Bureau of Justice Assistance award.
Why it matters: Creating a separate fund allows the village to budget grant proceeds and maintain a distinct accounting record for BJA program dollars, which council identified as the purpose of the fund during the reading of the resolution.
What the resolution says: The resolution requests Auditor of State approval to create Fund 2054, notes that a fund-approval form is attached to the resolution on the record, and declares the measure an emergency if necessary to allow immediate budgeting of grant funds. The resolution language read on the record states the purpose of the fund is “to budget the funds from the grant.”
Action taken: Council dispensed with the three readings and moved to adopt Resolution 7474-2025; roll-call votes recorded affirmative responses from councilmembers present and the resolution was adopted.
Next steps and constraints: The resolution asks the auditor’s office to approve creation of the fund and attaches the required fund-approval paperwork as part of the record. The council did not record further implementation steps in the meeting beyond the request for auditor approval.
