Orange Village council adopts small appropriation amendment to fund safety-facility architect change order
Summary
Council suspended rules and adopted Ordinance 2026‑11 to amend 2026 appropriations, adding $5,000 to the capital improvement fund to cover an architect change order related to the safety facility; the ordinance passed by roll call.
Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 2026‑11 after a motion to suspend the rules. Finance staff reported one change to the city’s appropriation ordinance: a $5,000 increase to the capital improvement fund to cover an architect change order related to the safety facility project.
Treasurer/finance staff explained that the original architect contract was approved at $85,270 and that change orders totaling $19,500 brought the contractor total to $104,770; the current budgeted appropriation left a $5,000 shortfall, which the ordinance addressed by increasing the capital improvement allocation. Staff said the prior appropriation had budgeted $100,000 and the change order required a modest adjustment.
Council asked clarifying questions and then approved suspension of the rules and the ordinance by roll-call vote.
The ordinance amendment is procedural, covered by a single line-item adjustment, and staff identified the capital improvement fund and architect change order as the justification for the increase.
