Gibson City Council approves multiple TIF and general-fund payments totaling more than $355,000
Summary
The Gibson City Council on Feb. 10 approved payments from several TIF accounts and the general fund, including $150,273.56 from TIF-2 and $205,190.96 in general-fund checks. One TIF-3 payment passed with two abstentions by aldermen who own property in TIF-3.
Gibson City aldermen approved several fund disbursements during their Feb. 10 meeting, clearing $150,273.56 in TIF-2 checks and $205,190.96 in general-fund payments, among other smaller TIF transactions.
A motion to pay four TIF-2 checks totaling $150,273.56 was made by Alderman Scott Davis and seconded by Alderman Terry Roesch; the motion carried (tally announced as 6 yes, 2 no). A separate motion by Alderman Susie Tongate to pay one TIF-3 check for $6,804.38 was seconded by Alderman Ray Hankes and passed with four in favor; Aldermen Laura Miller and Scott Davis abstained because they own property within TIF-3. Alderman Hankes moved to pay two TIF-4 checks totaling $20.71; Alderman Miller seconded and the motion carried 6-0. Council also approved one Downtown TIF payment of $359.39 on a motion by Alderman Miller, seconded by Alderman Roesch, and then approved general-fund checks totaling $205,190.96 on a motion by Alderman Davis, seconded by Alderman Hankes; both motions carried 6-0.
City Clerk Jan Hall recorded the votes and noted the abstentions where property ownership created a conflict for two aldermen. The motions as recorded in the meeting minutes did not list individual yes/no votes by name for all motions; the meeting record provides only the tallies for some items. The council did not attach additional conditions to the payments during the meeting.
The council did not discuss, during the meeting, further allocation details for the approved general-fund disbursements beyond the amounts approved. The minutes indicate routine processing of bills and fund transfers and that available balances were sufficient for the façade grant discussed later in the meeting.
