Council takes first reading of supplemental appropriations ordinance for South TIF wastewater, refuse
Summary
Finance presented Ordinance 2601 to amend supplemental and temporary appropriations tied to the South TIF for wastewater and refuse; council approved first reading only after clerical amendments were proposed.
At the Jan. 6 Bellefontaine City Council meeting, the Finance committee presented Ordinance 2601, a first-reading amendment to the city’s temporary appropriations related to the South Tax Increment Financing (TIF) area covering wastewater and refuse accounts.
Councilman Davis outlined account adjustments in the ordinance and said clerical amendments would be made before subsequent readings. The ordinance would amend an incidental account (ending in 5620) for South TIF from $1,000 to $3,500,000, add $1,800,000 to a land-acquisition/wastewater account (ending in 56300), and add $500,000 to a refuse land-acquisition account, as described in the meeting transcript. Davis said the council would ask for first reading only this evening and would return with corrected text and title for subsequent readings.
Council members moved to amend the ordinance’s title and certain text items (replacing dates and correcting ordinance numbers) and then voted to pass the ordinance on first reading only. The transcript records the proposed clerical corrections and a vote to advance the ordinance to the next stage, with further edits to be made prior to additional readings.
No public testimony or formal challenges to the ordinance’s substance were recorded during the meeting; the law director noted some typographical issues in the ordinance language that would be cleaned up.
