Zion council adopts $67.1 million appropriation ordinance for fiscal 2024-25
Summary
The Zion City Council unanimously adopted the 2024-25 appropriation ordinance totaling $67,098,176 after a public hearing; the ordinance establishes the city's legal spending authority for the year and includes contingency line items.
The Zion City Council unanimously adopted an appropriation ordinance for the fiscal year beginning May 1, 2024 and ending April 30, 2025, setting total appropriations at $67,098,176. Director Conway presented the ordinance during a public hearing and said the ordinance mirrors the budget and includes contingency line items for emergencies.
Council opened a public hearing on the ordinance and received no questions from members of the public before moving to close the hearing. Conway told the council the ordinance had been on file and available for viewing in the clerk's office prior to the hearing. On voice roll calls, Commissioners McDowell, Holmes, Frierson, Fisher and Mary McKinney voted aye and the motion carried.
The ordinance provides the legal authority for city expenditures and typically exceeds forecasted spending levels to allow for unanticipated emergencies. Conway emphasized that appropriations are a legal requirement before funds may be spent.
Next steps: the ordinance takes effect as the city follows its normal administrative and accounting procedures for budget execution; staff did not identify any immediate amendments or supplementary appropriations at the meeting.
