Summary
New Franklin council approved Resolution 26R17 (mid-year appropriation adjustments) and Resolution 26R18 (transfer of $250,000 from the general fund to the police district fund). Finance staff outlined several line-item changes including a $40,000 reduction in the salt/snow appropriation and an additional $10,000 for income tax collection fees.
New Franklin — At its April 15 meeting the City Council adopted Resolution 26R17 to amend the 2026 annual operating appropriations and Resolution 26R18 to transfer $250,000 from the general fund to the police district fund.
Mr. Cox opened the finance committee and deferred to Miss Bo, who said the mid-year adjustments reflect finalized certificate-of-estimated-resources figures. She described multiple line items: reducing the snow-removal/salt appropriation by $40,000 after updated balances; adding appropriations to reflect a still-unfinished AFG grant; repaying an advance from the general fund to the Office of Justice Services; using interest from ARPA funds (a small amount) for roads; adding $10,000 for income tax collection fees; appropriating money remaining in a bulletproof-vest grant account; trimming the fire capital improvements appropriation by $53,895.87; and establishing appropriations for a prior-losses/escrow account holding $19,843.22.
Council members asked for a high-level review and accepted Miss Bo’s offer to supply itemized detail if needed. The council adopted both resolutions by unanimous recorded vote.
What happens next: Staff will post the finalized line-item appropriations consistent with the certificate of estimated resources and will execute the $250,000 transfer to the police district fund under Resolution 26R18.
