Council moves year-end budget ordinance to council agenda to allow end-of-year appropriations
Summary
Council discussed and voted to move an ordinance that would allow the city to trim the budget and make year-end appropriations; staff said the action is recurring and may require new readings each year.
A city staff member described an ordinance to the North Canton City Council on Oct. 20 that would allow the mayor and staff to make end-of-year budget adjustments and appropriations to close the fiscal year. Staff said the change is in response to a court process and that similar submissions will be required annually.
The staff member said most of the measures in the ordinance reflect procedures the city already uses but that the change in law or procedure requires formalization and may prompt additional readings in future meetings. Council had no further questions and voted to move the ordinance (item 3D) to the council agenda for formal consideration; the motion passed (mover and seconder not specified; vote: 7 yes, 0 no).
No dollar amounts, departmental line-item changes or implementation timeline beyond the annual requirement were provided during the discussion.
