Lawrenceburg City Council adopts two ordinances, approves additional appropriation and pays $96,738 Riverfront invoice
Summary
At its Feb. 17 meeting the City Council adopted Ordinance 1 (annual code supplement) and Ordinance 2 (additional appropriations including Speedway lighting), approved donation committee requests, and voted to pay a $96,738.25 invoice related to the Riverfront project after receiving a city attorney memorandum stating payment is legally permissible if the council finds the invoice reflects services performed.
Clerk/Treasurer Fetti presented multiple financial items to the City Council. The council unanimously adopted Ordinance 1 (the annual supplement to the city’s code of ordinances) and Ordinance 2 (an additional appropriation ordinance to account for projects including the Speedway lighting project and other fund adjustments). Fetti explained adjustments and bank/fund constraints used to balance payroll and recommended leaving the Speedway lighting numbers in the appropriation to preserve flexibility; council adopted the appropriation on a unanimous vote.
Council reviewed two donation committee requests included in the packet and approved both by voice vote.
On a separate agenda item regarding an outstanding invoice related to the Riverfront project, the city attorney provided a memorandum that, in his opinion, the council — as the city’s financial body — could lawfully pay an invoice if the majority finds the invoice fairly reflects services performed for the Riverfront project. The invoice totaled $96,738.25. A motion to pay the invoice carried by voice vote; Clerk/Treasurer Fetti said the appropriation for this payment will be added to the next appropriation ordinance and the vendor will be paid in a few months pending bookkeeping adjustments.
Council also approved standard claims and payroll reports (to be certified) and moved to adjourn.
