Council adopts year-end appropriation changes including $3 million wastewater transfer
Summary
The council passed an ordinance amending multiple fund appropriations, including a $3,000,000 transfer from the wastewater operating fund to a reserve for future capital projects and several other transfers and salary allocations.
Harrison City Council approved an ordinance amending the amounts appropriated across various city funds as part of routine year-end adjustments. The ordinance passed on a roll-call vote during the business session.
During discussion, a council member summarized line items included in the ordinance: approximately $110,000 to Harrison Township as property tax shares related to JED properties; about $70,000 to Southwest Local and Great Oaks for TIF payments; roughly $317,000 transferred from the JED fund to be shared with the township; $115,000 for pending retirement payments; and a $3,000,000 transfer from the wastewater operating fund into a reserve account "for any major capital projects that may come down the pipeline." The member also noted personnel and project-specific appropriations: $150,000 for additional fire staffing salaries, $125,000 for wastewater staffing salaries, $183,000 for Campbell Road sewer project expenses, $101,000 for grant-related expenditures, and $38,000 for Harrison Avenue corridor engineering.
Council characterized most of the ordinance as year-end transfers and cleanup rather than new programmatic spending. The ordinance moved forward as presented and was approved by roll call; no amendments were recorded during the meeting.
