Fairfax council adopts fund-transfer ordinance, approves routine business
Summary
At its Oct. 19 meeting the Village of Fairfax council adopted Ordinance 23-20-20 to transfer local funds among the general, computer and TIF accounts and approved routine items including bills, minutes and the mayor's monthly report. Council also authorized advertising bids for a grant-funded stage.
The Village of Fairfax council on Oct. 19 unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 23-20-20, a temporary emergency measure that transfers funds among the village general fund, computer fund (mayor's court) and the TIF (tax-increment financing) fund to cover current expenditures.
The measure was read into the record by the clerk and, after a motion to suspend the three readings passed by roll call, council voted to adopt the ordinance immediately. The mayor announced at the meeting that "Ordinance number 23-20-20 has been adopted." The roll-call votes recorded unanimous ayes from the council members present.
Why it matters: The ordinance reallocates existing local funds across appropriation lines to address immediate expenses before the end of the fiscal year, including moving unappropriated balances into operating accounts and TIF accounts for streets and curbs.
Votes at a glance: - Approve bills and bank reconciliation: motion approved by voice vote (motion to approve the September bills and bank reconciliation was made and seconded; ayes recorded). - Approve minutes of Sept. 21, 2020: motion approved by voice vote. - Approve Mayor’s monthly report (Mayor's Court receipts for September $4,474.44): motion approved by roll call/voice vote. - Ordinance 23-20-20 (suspend three readings and adopt): motion passed by roll call (unanimous ayes). - Authorize advertising stage bid (see related article): motion passed by roll call.
The meeting record shows no formal amendments to Ordinance 23-20-20 and no dissenting votes were recorded on the floor. The council handled the ordinance as an emergency measure to make transfers before year-end.
The council adjourned after completing these items; next procedural steps on ordinance implementation will follow normal administrative procedures.
