Council approves multiple appropriations and a package of 11 grant applications; sewer‑plant phase tabled
Summary
Council approved several departmental 144 amendments and transfers, voted to table a third sewer‑plant phase request, discussed airport loan repayments and approved a consolidated package of 11 grant applications in a single voice vote.
During its June 3 meeting the Hamilton County Council considered a series of additional appropriations, transfers and capital requests and approved most items by voice vote while tabling a request for a third phase of a sewer‑plant project.
The auditor’s office reported efficiencies related to Workday implementation and council approved an auditor 144 amendment. The commissioners’ office and court administration requests also passed, as did a buildings and grounds request for approximately $1 million to fund personal relocation costs required as part of judicial expansion preparations. Council moved to table the third phase of the sewer plant request and the motion to table carried.
Members discussed airport capital items and an airport authority grant; council referenced a previous $3 million loan to the airport and was told two of the three repayments have been made and the balance owed is now under $1 million. Other line items approved included an appropriation request from Cummap Development for $100,000, emergency operations and fund amendments, an opioid‑restricted fund request of $8,375, and an FSAA fund request (amount stated in the transcript was garbled). Council then moved and seconded to combine and approve 11 grant applications as a single consolidated package; that consolidated motion passed on voice vote.
Where dollar amounts in the transcript were unclear or appear garbled, the report notes the ambiguity and recommends verifying exact amounts in county financial records.
