Mount Juliet amends budget to increase police vehicle line after insurance reimbursement
Summary
Commissioners amended the FY2024–25 budget to reflect insurance recoveries and increase the transportation equipment appropriation for the police department; the change followed staff explanation that two patrol vehicles were recently totaled and insurance proceeds were received.
The Mount Juliet Board of Commissioners on May 12 approved an amendment to the fiscal-year 2024–25 budget to support the purchase of police vehicles after staff reported additional insurance recoveries.
Staff explanation and amendment A staff speaker said two police vehicles had been in accidents and the city received insurance reimbursements. To reflect the recovered funds, the board approved two adjustments in the general fund section: insurance recoveries rose from $80,500 to $157,704 and the transportation equipment line was increased to $694,204 to allow new vehicle purchases.
Vote and context The change was offered as an amendment to the budget ordinance on the consent items and the commission approved the amendment and then approved the amended budget ordinance on final action. The amendment passed unanimously on the record.
What this does and next steps The vote authorizes staff to appropriate the recovered insurance funds and place the increased amount in the transportation equipment account to buy replacement vehicles for the police fleet. Staff will proceed with equipment procurement and standard purchasing rules.
