Context and notes: several appropriations were adjusted from advertised amounts (for example, the Memorial Home appropriation was reduced from $200,000 to $140,000 after staff recommendation) and the Eastgate appropriation was explained as a contingency to cover demolition and any necessary repairs pending bids. Ordinance 20-26-17 (municipal wheel tax) passed its first reading and will return for subsequent readings.
