Seat Pleasant introduces ordinance O-25-09 to amend FY02/2025 budget; first reading held

The Seat Pleasant City Council held a first reading of Ordinance O-25-09, an amendment to the FY02/2025 city budget that reallocates American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, the council announced at the meeting.

The ordinance was read into the record as an amendment to the FY02/2025 budget and references prior ordinances including O-24-13 and O-25-06. The text as read states the amendment will increase an American Recovery Act expenditure account in department administration by $456,107 to a new budgeted amount of $456,107, and decrease an administrative department call-center line item that previously showed a current budget amount of $503,000 by an adjustment amount read aloud in the meeting. The transcript contains garbled numeric text for the decreased line item and the resulting new budget amount; the first reading notice in the record states the ordinance will become effective following mayoral approval or council passage after a veto, and requires certification by the city clerk.

No formal final vote on adoption was recorded in the provided transcript; the meeting record indicates only that the ordinance was introduced for a first reading. Council members did not raise questions about the ordinance during the first-reading period recorded in the transcript.

The ordinance text as read in the meeting identifies the funding source as the American Recovery Act (ARPA) and cites prior ordinance numbers shown during the reading. The transcript does not show department-level specifics beyond the line-item language read into the record.

Because this was a first reading, any final adoption, amendments, or implementation steps would require a subsequent council vote and the city clerk's certification per the ordinance language read at the meeting.
