Covington council waives three-reading rule and approves reappropriation ordinance to increase appropriations
Summary
At the June 28, 2022 meeting council waived the three-reading rule and adopted Ordinance 13-22 to increase appropriations citing higher-than-normal tax returns and to raise line items tied to OWDA loan payments and fees; motions passed unanimously.
The Covington Village Council on June 28, 2022 waived the three-reading rule for Ordinance 13-22 and then adopted the ordinance the same night.
Village Administrator Kyle Hinkelman told council the ordinance was necessary to increase appropriations after two unusually high tax returns and to raise specific line items connected to OWDA (Ohio Water Development Authority) loan payments and associated fees. No dollar amounts were stated in the meeting minutes.
Councilor Jesse Reynolds moved to waive the three-reading rule; Councilor Amy Welborn seconded and the motion passed with all ayes. Councilor Dawn Duff then moved to approve Ordinance 13-22; Councilor Jesse Reynolds seconded and the ordinance passed unanimously.
The ordinance adjusts budget appropriations to reflect higher revenues and to ensure coverage for OWDA loan obligations and fees; the minutes do not specify exact account lines or amounts, so those details remain "not specified" in the public minutes.
