Council presented with three supplemental appropriations including $72,500 for in‑car cameras; vote scheduled Monday
Summary
City staff presented three supplemental appropriations — $2,600 to Miami County Treasurer for collection fees, $72,500 for the first year of in‑car cameras, and a $50,000 increase to a lawn‑care contract — and moved the items for formal action at Monday’s meeting.
Alex, city finance staff, told the council the administration will bring three supplemental appropriations forward for formal council action on Monday: $2,600 to Miami County Treasurer for increased collection fees tied to special assessments; $72,500 for the first year of in‑car cameras previously approved by the council on April 14; and a $50,000 increase for the city’s lawn‑care contract with Green Tech, also approved at the April 14 meeting.
During discussion, a council member asked whether state/regional public‑safety grant opportunities might cover camera or MARC‑system costs for municipalities. Alex and the City Manager said those programs tend to target smaller organizations and that the city may not qualify for some of the grants discussed. No formal vote was recorded in the work session; staff moved the appropriations to the council meeting on Monday for action.
