Council holds required public hearing, adopts resolution 26‑05 moving LIT funds to MVH
Summary
After opening a statutorily required public hearing — during which no members of the public spoke — the council adopted Resolution 26‑05 to move funds from the Local Income Tax (LIT) to the Motor Vehicle Highway (MVH) fund; one council member recorded an abstention.
The Portage City Common Council opened a public hearing Monday on Resolution 26‑05, an additional appropriation transferring funds from the Local Income Tax (LIT) to the Motor Vehicle Highway (MVH) fund, to satisfy statutory public‑hearing requirements after a prior meeting did not include the hearing.
Clerk Treasurer Liz (speaker 3) explained the hearing is a formality required by state standards for such appropriations and that the matter had been voted on at the prior meeting without the public hearing; the State Board of Accounts and the Department of Local Government Finance require a hearing before final approval. No members of the public rose to comment during the three calls for speakers.
Lawmaker (speaker 8) moved to adopt the resolution and Mayor (speaker 1) seconded. Lawmaker (speaker 6) announced an abstention. The mayor declared the resolution adopted by voice vote.
The action completes a procedural requirement so the appropriation may be processed for MVH uses; the transcript does not specify the dollar amount transferred.
