Council quick‑take: budget revision, zoning first reading, and two resolutions pass March 4
Summary
Council approved a fiscal‑year 2025 budget revision, passed first reading of the M1/M2 zoning ordinance, and approved two resolutions: cosponsoring a WWDC level‑2 water study and designating community cleanup events.
At its March 4 meeting the Sheridan City Council took several formal actions summarized here.
Votes at a glance - Resolution 8‑25: FY25 budget revision No. 1 — Approved. Motion moved (recorded in transcript) and seconded; council voice vote recorded as all in favor. The revision rolls forward special funds, reclassifies SLIB loan accounting per audit, authorizes contingency purchases (some items postponed), and reallocates interest earnings toward capital projects and the fire truck payment. Staff (Treasurer Darla Hawkins) presented details and answered questions on contingency items including a proposed PACE training package for Tyler Enterprise software.
