Council creates separate police training fund after state auditor guidance
Summary
Greenville established a Police Department Continuing Professional Training Fund to segregate state training monies and allow clearer budgeting; the ordinance passed unanimously after council discussion.
Greenville City Council voted to establish a Police Department Continuing Professional Training Fund, following guidance from the Ohio auditor to segregate state-provided training funds or track them separately within the general fund. City staff said the new fund will allow the police chief to view available training dollars at a glance and that the fund will be budgeted separately going forward.
Council discussed that the total training allocation across the two funds should remain equivalent to prior arrangements, and staff confirmed the change responds to an advisory memo from the state auditor. The council suspended rules and adopted the ordinance; members agreed the separate fund will improve transparency and reporting for police training receipts and expenditures.
