SPRING HILL, Kan. — The Spring Hill governing body approved year-end encumbrances on Dec. 30 to reserve 2024 funding for purchases not completed before year-end.

City staff told the council the encumbrances cover items that have been ordered but not delivered, including emergency radios and police equipment. Mrs. Dunn (city staff) said the total amount to encumber is $55,845 and that $13,139 of that sum will be drawn from the general fund/police department budget; the emergency radios will be charged to the equipment fund rather than the general fund.

"We'd like to encumber the amount of $55,845 of which 13,139 will come from the general fund and the police department budget," Mrs. Dunn said.

Councilmember (Speaker 6) moved to approve the encumbrances; Councilmember (Speaker 3) seconded. The council approved the motion by voice vote, recorded as 'Motion carries 5 0 0.'
