Raeford council adopts multiple budget amendments, accepts $250,000 SCIF grant and a $21,620 police equipment grant
Summary
The city adopted three budget amendments covering a $21,620 BolaWraps grant for police, organizational changes in animal control, and other unexpected expenditures; council also accepted a $250,000 SCIF grant to be accounted for in a separate fund.
The Raeford City Council on Feb. 7 approved several budget adjustments and accepted state grant funding.
Budget Ordinance Amendment #2 authorizes $21,620 in restricted revenue and matching expenditures for a grant awarded through the NC Governor’s Crime Commission to the Police Department for BolaWraps equipment. Amendment #3 moves Animal Control into the Police Department following an officer’s retirement and lists itemized salary and benefit changes totaling $25,290. Amendment #4 covers unexpected general-fund expenditures totaling $30,827 and makes associated revenue adjustments (including Powell Bill and insurance proceeds); the Water/Sewer Fund received appropriations for professional services and contingency totaling $11,581.
In a separate action under the consent agenda, council adopted Resolution #2022-01 to accept a $250,000 allocation from the State Capital and Infrastructure Fund (SCIF) under NC SL-2021-180. The resolution directs the City Manager, City Attorney and Finance Director to take necessary steps to receive the funds and requires the city to account for SCIF revenue in a separate fund and comply with applicable state budgeting, accounting and reporting requirements.
The minutes show each item was approved unanimously; the record does not specify project-level uses for the SCIF funds beyond compliance and accounting requirements.
