Paoli council adopts $819,500 in additional appropriations after public hearing

The Paoli Town Council on Dec. 3 approved $819,500 in additional appropriations following a published public hearing. Clerk-Treasurer Beth Jones presented line-item requests that included $20,000 for fuel (General Fund corp 22), $22,000 for printing and advertising, $250,000 for insurance, $10,000 for park salaries, $2,500 for park repairs, $115,000 in CEDIT other services, and $400,000 to the Casino Fund. There were no public questions during the hearing, which Town Attorney Hunt Reynolds opened and closed.

Council then voted 5-0 to adopt Ordinance 2024-16, formalizing the additional appropriations presented at the hearing. The ordinance was approved after a brief discussion; specific departmental allocations were those listed during the hearing. Clerk-Treasurer Jones had presented the totals and line items during the hearing and at the Council meeting.

The appropriations will adjust the town’s adopted spending limits for the current year; the transcript does not specify implementation dates beyond the ordinance adoption. The Council also approved related routine financial items later in the meeting, including claims and billing adjustments.
