Gainesville council unanimously approves budget adjustments, election schedule, street renaming and business-park agreements
Summary
At its Jan. 21 meeting the Gainesville Mayor and Council unanimously approved two budget adjustments covering FY2024 and FY2025, an elections schedule and qualifying fees, the renaming of a portion of McDonald Street to Willie Faye Bush Street, intergovernmental agreements for business-park lots, and two board appointments.
The Gainesville Mayor and Council unanimously approved a package of resolutions and consent items at their Jan. 21 meeting, including budget adjustments for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, the city’s election schedule and qualifying fees for November, the renaming of a portion of McDonald Street to Willie Faye Bush Street and intergovernmental agreements to enable development of business-park lots.
City Manager Bridal Lackey summarized the items for council. He said the first two resolutions were budget adjustments — AR 2025-1, the fourth-quarter budget adjustment for fiscal year 2024, and AR 2025-2, the first-quarter budget adjustment for fiscal year 2025 — and that council had previously received a detailed rundown. “With your approval tonight, we'll be able to approve all that,” Bridal Lackey said.
Council then approved BR 2025-3, which sets the 2025 election dates and qualifying fees; BR 2025-4, renaming the portion of McDonald Street between Mill Street and Dunbar Place to Willie Faye Bush Street so GIS and E911 systems can be updated; and two intergovernmental agreements related to the city’s business park. City Attorney Ab Hayes said BR 2025-05 amends an earlier IGA for lots 18, 19 and 20 to change a due-diligence date from May 15, 2024 to April 16, 2025 and to clarify the development authority’s rights during due diligence. BR 2025-06 is an IGA for lot 9, described by staff as similar to the authority’s prior agreements and intended to allow the development authority to proceed with sale negotiations for that lot.
The consent agenda also included appointments: Ross Stevens was appointed to the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) and Jenny Hodom to the Housing Authority. The council approved minutes from Jan. 2 and Jan. 7, 2025 as part of the consent items.
All motions on the consent agenda and the resolutions passed unanimously. No amendments or abstentions were recorded during the Jan. 21 meeting.
