Council approves $303,996 supplemental appropriation, including COPS hiring grant
City finance staff presented a supplemental appropriation totaling $303,996 and recommended council approval.

"This item is a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $303,996," finance staff said, then detailed carryover and non‑carryover line items including court bond forfeiture refunds, police insurance proceeds, overtime grant proceeds, a COPS hiring program federal grant of $233,693, fire hazmat reimbursements, VDOT reimbursements, and parks and recreation donations.

Council discussed the grant and reimbursement items and noted that many entries were reimbursements or externally funded grants that do not draw on local taxpayers. A roll-call vote approved the appropriation; the clerk recorded affirmative votes in favor.

The supplemental appropriation will be entered into the general fund as presented; staff recommended and council adopted the ordinance/approving motion on first action.
