Botkins council approves $499,000 transfer, CRA agreement, Carousel Days alcohol permit and 9-1-1 appointment
Summary
Botkins council unanimously approved a resolution to transfer up to $499,000 from the general fund to the capital improvement fund and passed three ordinances: a Community Reinvestment Area agreement with Double C Properties, a limited alcohol permit for Carousel Days, and appointment of Mayor Lance Symonds to the Shelby County 9-1-1 Program Review Committee.
Botkins council on Wednesday approved a resolution to appropriate and transfer up to $499,000 from the village general fund to the capital improvement fund and passed three ordinances covering a Community Reinvestment Area (CRA), a temporary alcohol permit for Carousel Days and the mayor's appointment to a county 9-1-1 review committee.
The vote followed the finance committee's report that the Hageman loan has been paid off and that the capital improvement fund is currently in the red; council said the transfer will restore available capital funds. Council unanimously waived three readings for Resolution No. 26-06 and then approved the emergency transfer authorization. Jake Roberts made the motion to approve the resolution and Kevin Market seconded; all members voted in favor.
The council also approved Ordinance No. 26-03, adopting a Community Reinvestment Area agreement with Double C Properties, LLC, by unanimous vote (motion by Jake Roberts, seconded by Lucas Greve). Council approved Ordinance No. 26-04 to permit consumption of alcoholic beverages on certain designated streets during Carousel Days (motion by Jake Roberts, seconded by Nick Greve). Finally, Ordinance No. 26-05 appointing Mayor Lance Symonds as the municipal representative to the Shelby County 9-1-1 Program Review Committee passed unanimously (motion by Craig Brown, seconded by Lucas Greve).
All four measures passed unanimously; five members were listed on roll call and all voted "yes." The minutes record motions, seconds and the outcome but do not list individual roll-call names next to each vote beyond the recorded movers and seconders. Next steps: the transfer resolution was declared an emergency and implemented as approved; the CRA agreement, the Carousel Days permit and the 9-1-1 appointment were enacted as ordinances at the meeting.
The meeting record shows no additional conditions or amendments attached to the approved measures. Questions on the transfer's exact accounting entries and timing were not detailed in the minutes; the finance committee said state reports had been filed and proceeds from a recent vehicle sale had been deposited.
