Petersburg council directs city manager to prepare supplemental appropriation for Oak Hill Bridge repairs
Summary
The Petersburg City Council voted unanimously March 4 to direct the city manager to bring a supplemental appropriation ordinance in April to fund repairs to the Oak Hill Bridge; the amount to be appropriated was not specified on the record.
PETERSBURG, Va. — The Petersburg City Council voted March 4 to direct the city manager to present a supplemental appropriation ordinance during the council’s regular April cycle to appropriate the funds needed to complete repairs to the Oak Hill Bridge.
The motion, offered by Council member Myers and seconded by Vice Mayor Hill, instructs the city manager to “bring forward a supplemental appropriation ordinance during our regular cycle in April to appropriate all funds necessary and take all necessary action to perform the necessary repairs to the Oak Hill Bridge.” The motion passed on a roll-call vote with all members present voting in the affirmative.
The council did not specify the dollar amount on the public record when it approved the direction. Council members who voted “aye” on the motion were Council member Cuthbert, Council member Jones, Council member Myers, Council member Westbrook, Council member Smith Lee, Vice Mayor Hill and Mayor Perrin.
The council’s direction requires the city manager to prepare the ordinance and any supporting materials for the council’s April meeting; the record does not state a detailed repair timeline or funding source. No amendment or additional conditions were recorded when the motion passed.
The measure follows a closed-session meeting earlier in the day; the council returned to open session and certified the closed meeting before taking the action directing the city manager.
