Council approves $18,000 transfer to fund building demolitions
Summary
The City of Perry council passed Resolution 2025-11 on June 10, 2025, moving $18,000 into the demolition budget to cover planned demolitions, council members said the Board of Adjustments had approved demolition of four buildings.
The City of Perry council approved Resolution 2025-11 on June 10, 2025, amending the fiscal-year budget for the general fund and water fund to increase funding for demolition work.
Staff told the council the Board of Adjustments had approved demolition of four buildings but the city did not have sufficient budget in the demolition line; the approved action transfers $18,000 into the demolition budget. A council member asked, “How much are we moving over? Just 18. 18. Okay.”
Council moved the budget amendment, and the motion passed by voice vote; roll-call replies from the council indicated affirmative votes. Staff and council members discussed that other properties (for example, an old warehouse) were being addressed by other methods and not included in this demolition funding item.
Staff said the water fund had sufficient reserves to cover the transfer. The resolution is an intra-budget transfer and did not require new revenue; staff did not present a revised multi-year capital plan for demolitions at the meeting.
