Council approves multiple budget and grant adjustments; brief votes pass ordinances 27–33 and resolution 14

During the same April 15 meeting, Whitehall City Council adopted several appropriation and grant‑related ordinances and a routine resolution by unanimous or near‑unanimous vote. Those items were handled with limited discussion after the meeting’s major public hearings concluded.

Key items adopted (selected): - Ordinance 27‑20‑25: Unappropriate $19,200 for Fire Department grant fund retention and mental health expense account (adopted). - Ordinance 28‑20‑25: Unappropriate $9,418.50 for Fire Department BWC safety intervention expense account (adopted). - Ordinance 29‑20‑25: Unappropriate $6,715 for Police Department cadet internship program (adopted). - Ordinance 30‑20‑25: Unappropriate $4,083.50 for police department grant enhancement (adopted). - Ordinance 31‑20‑25: Approve settlement appropriation of $13,520.83 to TIF fees expense account (adopted). - Ordinance 32‑20‑25: Appropriation of $479,308.95 for police department strategic community investment grant (adopted). - Ordinance 33‑20‑25: Supplement appropriation of $1,423,000 for police building renovation/addition fund (adopted). - Resolution 14‑20‑25: Approval of then‑announced certificates (adopted).

Most of these measures were introduced with motions to suspend the rules and then adopted; roll calls for each appeared in the meeting record and were approved in the affirmative by the council. Council members characterized these items as routine finance and grant housekeeping necessary to manage grants, capital projects and settlement funds.
