Prospect council rounds up financial report, annexation first reading and two appointments
Summary
Beyond the golf‑cart discussion, the council reviewed November financials (cash on hand just over $5.1M), gave a first reading to an annexation of a city‑owned parcel (Ordinance 6 59, Series 2025) approved 6–0, and confirmed two citizen appointments to the Ethics Commission and Code Enforcement Board.
At its Dec. 15 meeting, Prospect’s City Council handled several routine but consequential items following a lengthy public comment period on a golf‑cart ordinance.
Finance Director Carter summarized November financials, reporting almost $500,000 in the bank, $4,400,000 in investments at KLC and cash on hand just over $5,100,000; Carter said the city had received roughly 75% of expected income for the year and spent about 40% of budgeted expenditures. Restricted road aid balance was reported at $177,000 and the capital project fund balance was noted in the packet.
The council took a first reading of Ordinance 6 59 (Series 2025), consenting to the annexation of a city‑owned parcel at 6696 Shoalhaven Avenue into the city. Staff explained the parcel is city‑owned and the reading was a procedural step in a larger annexation process; the first reading passed on a roll call vote, 6–0. The ordinance will return for a second reading at the next regular meeting in January.
Council also approved two municipal orders to fill citizen positions: John Embry was appointed to the Prospect Ethics Commission for a three‑year term ending Dec. 31, 2028, and Wanda Powers was reappointed to the Prospect Code Enforcement Board for a three‑year term ending Sept. 15, 2028. Both appointments were approved by roll call vote following motions and seconds.
The council adjourned with the items above recorded for future follow up.
