Summary

City Council adopted a supplemental appropriations ordinance that includes an $18,091,000 appropriation to the solid waste fund for MRF financing, modest general-fund adjustments for Liberty Apartments and counseling center fees, and a $1,697,529 ARPA transfer for the Salt Flats housing initiative.

Council on Dec. 3 adopted Ordinance 52 88, a supplemental appropriations ordinance that adjusts three city funds.

CFO Jay Valentine summarized the requests: $18,091,000 to the solid waste fund to authorize payment of a short-term note from A and B Bank for the materials recovery facility (MRF) using proceeds from a recent debt issuance; $73,919 to the general fund (including $52,933 for Liberty Apartments and $20,986 for counseling education center TCP fees and inspection costs as directed at a Nov. 3 workshop); and $1,697,529 from ARPA to the sales tax capital improvement fund to support amended housing initiative budgets for the Salt Flats project.

Valentine said he would answer questions but council conducted no substantive debate and approved the ordinance on final passage by unanimous roll call (6-0).

The appropriations authorize the city to complete the planned payments and transfers described in the staff report and to proceed with the MRF financing and housing transfers. Council did not modify the figures at the meeting; staff indicated follow-up budget bookkeeping would reflect the transfers.

Action taken: Ordinance 52 88 adopted on final passage, 6-0.
