Council approves supplemental appropriations, park grant application and several routine measures
Summary
Council adopted a supplemental appropriation for crime-prevention ($2,500) and fire-truck repairs ($6,284), authorized a $12,500 parks grant application to replace a playground slide, accepted a sidewalk-phase 3 bid, approved a then-and-now certificate for $6,292, and enacted personnel-code amendments.
At its June 17 meeting the Greenville City Council approved several administrative and budget items the city described as routine but consequential for operations.
Supplemental appropriations: Council adopted an ordinance to add appropriations to the general fund: $2,500 for police crime-prevention and community outreach (funded by drug-fine receipts) and $6,284 to cover additional repairs to a fire vehicle (insurance reimbursement). The ordinance was adopted with recorded "Yes" votes from the members present.
Parks grant: Council authorized filing an application to the Dark County Parks Improvement Grant Program for 2025 and staff said the city will request $12,500 to replace the playground slide referenced earlier in public comment.
Sidewalks — phase 3: Council passed a resolution declaring the necessity to repair certain sidewalks under Sidewalk Project Phase 3, allowing assessment of abutting property owners and explaining a change to provide hard-quote numbers so property owners see final costs. Council then accepted America's Decorative Concrete LTD's bid for Phase 3; staff said three bids were received and one was declared nonresponsive for missing required documentation. A contract provision will allow ADC to complete work not finished by property owners after July 15; the city has sent pre-letters explaining the timetable and permit options.
Other measures: Council adopted a then-and-now certificate authorizing payment to Atlantic Emergency Solutions for $6,292 and adopted an ordinance amending sections of Chapter 252 of the city’s codified ordinances and the personnel policy manual to align vacation cash-in rules with union contracts (allowing cash-in after eight years) and to add a uniform allowance for specified nonunion employees.
Votes at a glance (as recorded in the meeting): the supplemental appropriations ordinance, the parks-grant resolution, the sidewalk-necessity resolution, acceptance of America’s Decorative Concrete bid, the Atlantic Emergency Solutions then-and-now certificate, and the Chapter 252 ordinance were adopted with affirmative votes recorded for members present. No roll-call 'No' votes were recorded in the transcript excerpts provided.
What's next: Staff said the 2026 preliminary budget must be submitted to the county auditor by the end of July; auditors and departments will continue preparing supporting worksheets and the council expects to vote on submission at the next meeting.
