Tipton City council approves year‑end transfers, ordinance and claims; carries over firefighter vacation day
The Tipton City Common Council approved a slate of year‑end financial housekeeping items and personnel actions on voice votes during its final meeting of the year.

Council approved Resolution 2025‑34 to reallocate ambulance‑fund dollars: a decrease to part‑time medic wages of $16,191.62 and increases of $9,944.41 (contractual) and $6,247.21 (bottled oxygen). Resolution 2025‑35 authorized transfers within the police general fund that produced a $31,905 increase in officer wages (by moving multiple line items). Resolutions 2025‑36 and 2025‑37 shifted modest amounts to building repair/maintenance and chemicals; Resolutions 2025‑38 through 2025‑40 made transfers for golf clubhouse repairs and golf grounds gasoline and operations. Each resolution was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

On personnel, the council approved a request from the fire department to carry over one vacation day for firefighter Jake Adams because short staffing required him to be called back to work. The council also approved Ordinance 2025‑16 on second and final reading to add an IT coordinator to the salary ordinance, to be paid from within the police department budget lines as described in the packet.

Council approved claims totaling $823,245.43; a council member noted some of the charges included plumbing repairs for the golf clubhouse. After a brief petitions and comments section — including a question about establishing a GovDeals account for surplus equipment — Speaker 3 moved to adjourn and the meeting was closed.

All motions described above passed by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
