Walton Hills amends 2025 budget to cover cameras and a $50,000 CDBG payment
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 2025-9 to amend 2025 appropriations, adding funds for the new surveillance system and a roughly $50,000 CDBG payment (an additional $14,000 appropriation was needed to cover the bill).
Walton Hills’ Village Council adopted Ordinance 2025-9 to amend the 2025 budget and make additional appropriations to cover purchase and installation of cameras and to pay an outstanding CDBG-related bill.
Council members noted that the Hannah project (funded through a CDBG) is complete and that the village needed to appropriate an additional $14,000 to cover an outstanding $50,000 payment. The ordinance language discussed at the meeting referenced appropriations for camera installation at the community center and building department offices and added the $14,000 to meet the vendor invoice.
Why it matters: adopting the ordinance provides the necessary appropriation to pay a completed grant-funded project and to fund the newly authorized surveillance system, enabling staff to finalize payments and contract work.
During the meeting, councilors confirmed that funds could be moved from existing line items (including appropriations in the police chief’s budget) to pay for the camera system and that staff would pursue available grants if applicable. Council moved to suspend rules and adopted the ordinance by roll call.
Next steps: staff will implement the appropriation changes so vendors can be paid and contract work can proceed.
