Rome Board of Estimate and Contracts approves 2025 budget transfers, equipment auction and sale of Parcel 152 after price amendment
Summary
At a brief Aug. 28 meeting, the Rome Board of Estimate and Contracts approved two 2025 budget transfers, authorized sale of surplus equipment at public auction, and approved sale of city-owned Parcel 152 North Crescent Drive after amending the sale price to $13,274.95.
The Rome Board of Estimate and Contracts on Aug. 28 approved two 2025 budgetary transfers, authorized the sale of surplus city equipment at public auction and voted to sell city-owned Parcel 152 North Crescent Drive after amending the sale price.
The actions came during a short meeting that began at about 3:01 p.m. and included routine approvals and voice votes. All resolutions brought to the floor were approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The board approved Resolution No. 166, described in the meeting as “authorizing 2025 budgetary transfer.” No dollar amounts or program details for the transfers were stated in the meeting record. Resolution No. 167, also described as authorizing a 2025 budgetary transfer, was similarly approved with no discussion recorded.
The board next approved Resolution No. 168, described as authorizing the sale of surplus equipment via public auction. The meeting record does not specify the items to be auctioned, minimum bids, or a timetable for the auction.
Later the board moved to remove Resolution No. 161 from the table. Resolution No. 161 authorizes the mayor of the City of Rome to approve the sale of city-owned Parcel 152 North Crescent Drive. The version of the resolution read into the record initially listed a sale amount of $13,464; Treasurer Brian Adams offered an amendment to change the dollar amount to $13,274.95. "Mayor, members of the board, I would like to request an amendment to the dollar amount, which is listed both in the title or the heading and also in the body of the paragraph as well as the backup documentation, to read as $13,274.95," Adams said. The amendment was seconded, carried by voice vote, and the resolution as amended was then carried by voice vote.
The meeting record does not identify the buyer of Parcel 152 or provide additional sale terms beyond the amended dollar amount. No public comment or department report about the parcel or the budget transfers was recorded during the meeting.
After approving the resolutions the board moved to adjourn. The meeting record shows the motions were moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
