Council adopts supplemental ordinance to fund water tower and wastewater improvements
Summary
Greenville City Council adopted a supplemental appropriation ordinance to reimburse the city for recent water and wastewater capital expenditures and to provision funds for the Water Tower East/Industrial Park project and wastewater solids-handling improvements.
Greenville City Council voted to adopt a supplemental appropriation ordinance that allocates funding to water and wastewater capital-improvement projects and records the city's intent to reimburse previously paid costs from future loan proceeds. The ordinance lists $724,347.56 for the Water Tower East/Industrial Park account and $32,014.50 for wastewater solids-handling improvements.
Council President opened the ordinance for consideration and Mr. Godwin moved to suspend the rules and read the ordinance by title. The motion carried on a roll call vote, and Mr. Rogers moved to adopt the ordinance. During discussion a council member asked the law director to explain standard language that appears in supplemental ordinances. Law Director Reaman said the paragraph in question is standard language intended to prevent unapproved expenditures from being paid without specific council action. Auditor Missus Davis confirmed the listed funds were expenditures the city has paid and that those amounts would be reimbursed when related loans are approved and the debt is formally assumed.
The ordinance as read states the appropriations are reimbursable and intended to cover payments already made by the city that will be repaid when financing for the projects is finalized. The council recorded affirmative roll-call votes to adopt the ordinance.
