Council authorizes temporary and supplemental appropriations to bridge year-end spending and CIP work
Summary
Greenville City Council adopted a temporary appropriation ordinance for early 2026 spending and approved a supplemental ordinance reallocating $500,000 for the Schweitzer Street capital improvement, $422,222.88 for Water Tower East reimbursements, $2,406,651.68 for wastewater solids-handling payments, and $1,200 for reimbursable EMS equipment.
Greenville City Council approved a temporary appropriation for early 2026 spending and adopted a supplemental appropriation ordinance Dec. 16 to cover year-end payments and carry-forward project costs.
Auditor Mrs. Davis explained that temporary appropriations are needed to make current payments through March 31, 2026, until the regular 2026 appropriation ordinance is passed. The supplemental ordinance included the following items listed in council discussion and the ordinance text: a $500,000 transfer for the Schweitzer Street capital improvement project; $422,222.88 for Water Tower East/Industrial Park payments to be reimbursed; $2,406,651.68 for wastewater treatment plant solids-handling improvements posted as payments made on the city's behalf; and $1,200 for new fire/EMS equipment that will be reimbursed by an Ohio Division of EMS grant.
"So that money is being transferred to the capital improvement," Mrs. Davis said of the Schweitzer Street allocation, and she explained the EMS equipment funds are expected to be reimbursed through a training and equipment grant. Council members moved to suspend the rules and adopt both the temporary appropriations ordinance and the supplemental appropriations ordinance by roll call; the motions carried.
The auditor also requested a committee-of-the-whole budget review meeting on Jan. 13 and proposed bringing the budget back to council for possible approval on Jan. 20.
Next steps: staff will post the temporary appropriations and supplemental appropriations to allow scheduled payments and prepare the Jan. 13 budget review and Jan. 20 council consideration of the 2026 budget.
