Garden City council approves multiple 2024 budget amendments, consolidates votes and shifts March meeting
Summary
At its March 3, 2025 meeting, the Garden City City Council unanimously approved a package of FY2024 budget amendments — including a capital-project allocation for a new gym/recreation complex — consolidated five budget items into a single vote, amended the meeting schedule and approved minutes from February.
Garden City Mayor Campbell presided over a brief March 3 meeting at which the City Council unanimously approved a package of FY2024 budget amendments, consolidated five budget items into a single vote and moved the city’s March meeting by one day.
The council opened with an invocation and roll call, then approved minutes from Feb. 18 and Feb. 20. Council member Lassiter moved to amend the agenda so five budget items could be approved together; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll-call vote in which each council member recorded approval.
Council then considered a set of resolutions to amend multiple FY2024 budgets. The clerk read amendments affecting the general operating fund, an item transcribed as a “SPLAS” (verbatim from the record), the city’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fund, a capital projects fund for a new gym/recreation complex, three special revenue funds (confiscated assets, hotel/motel tax and tourism) and four enterprise funds including fire protection, water, sanitation and water/sewer. The council voted to approve the package as read.
Council also approved a resolution amending the regular meeting schedule to eliminate the March 17, 2025 regular meeting because of the St. Patrick’s Day holiday and to establish a meeting on March 18, 2025. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with every listed member recorded as supporting the change.
There were no public comments. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn; Mayor Campbell declared, “Motion carried,” and later, “This meeting is adjourned.”
What the record shows and what it does not: the clerk identified the types of funds and the council listed a capital project for a new gym/recreation complex, but the transcript does not include detailed line-item dollar amounts or a breakdown of how the amendments will be allocated among departments. Funding totals and specific budget line changes were not specified in the meeting record.
The council is next scheduled to meet on March 18, 2025, per the approved schedule change.
