Finance committee introduces four ordinances transferring funds and amending 2025 appropriations

Summary

During the caucus the finance and legislation committee read ordinances to transfer funds into police and fire pension accounts, move $5,000 to the elderly van fund, and amend 2025 appropriations (repealing ordinance 25-023); motions to bring each ordinance out of committee were recorded but final votes were not captured in the transcript.

The Struthers finance and legislation committee convened and introduced four budget-related ordinances: a $50,000 transfer to the police pension fund, a $30,000 transfer to the fire pension fund, a $5,000 transfer to the elderly van fund, and an ordinance amending 2025 appropriations that repeals ordinance 25‑023.

Committee members moved and seconded motions to bring each ordinance out of committee for further consideration. The transcript records motions and seconds for each item but does not include a final roll‑call vote or a recorded adoption during the caucus. The ordinances were presented with the emergency clause language, and committee members had no substantive questions recorded on the transfers during the caucus.

The committee adjourned after the introductions. A finance and legislation committee meeting was scheduled for January 7; a special council meeting the same day will establish committees for the 2026–27 terms.

Next steps: the ordinances will proceed through the council process; the transcript does not show final action or disposition taken during the caucus.
