Summary
City staff reported closing the Juniper Cemetery TD Bank account (about $14,000 moved, $5,000 used for tree removal), reminded department heads that budgets are due Jan. 22 and outside organizations must submit grant applications by Jan. 5, and previewed upcoming presentations on waterways and solar credits.
City staff updated the Finance Committee on several administrative finance items: the Juniper Cemetery account at TD Bank was closed due to the bank’s upcoming branch closure and “a little over $14,000” was transferred into the city account, with an initial payment of just over $5,000 made for tree removal at the cemetery.
Committee members were reminded of near-term deadlines: department heads must submit budget requests by January 22, and outside organizations must file online funding applications by Monday, Jan. 5, at 6 p.m. Staff said those deadlines and submission links are posted on the city website and social media.
Upcoming presentations were scheduled: Sue Lazar will present findings on waterways on Jan. 12, and staff are preparing a solar-credits report for a January meeting. Staff also said they will coordinate notice to the full council about the finance-committee sessions to encourage attendance on key items.
The committee discussed a bond‑anticipation note related to a school track/tanker project and clarified only two-thirds of the project was included in the note; the school’s fundraising third was not placed into the bond anticipation note and could be tracked in a donor fund or applied later to reduce debt service.
Next steps: staff will keep council informed of finance-committee agendas, post application links, and return with more details on the solar-credits report and cemetery-account reconciliation.
