Owensboro adopts budget amendment ordinance, adds grant-funded police position
Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved Ordinance 20-2025, a budget amendment that carries over prior appropriations, incorporates grant receipts and appropriates funds including a grant to offset the cost of adding an additional police officer.
The Owensboro City Board of Commissioners approved on second reading Ordinance 20-2025, a fiscal-year budget amendment that carries forward prior appropriations, adds capital funds, incorporates recently awarded grants and appropriates funds for a land purchase.
City Manager Nate summarized the amendment and told commissioners that "most significantly" the amendment includes a grant to offset the cost of adding an additional police officer; the ordinance therefore authorizes receipt and expenditure of those grant proceeds. The budget amendment packages several routine adjustments that accumulated over the prior months.
The ordinance was read for second reading and approved after a roll-call vote. The recorded presence at roll call and subsequent vote showed affirmative votes from the five commissioners present, and the motion passed.
The amendment will appear in the city's published fiscal records and be reflected in year-to-date budget-to-actual reports. No amendments or substitutes were offered during the second-reading discussion.
