Ivanhoe council approves donations to ambulance, interfund transfers, temporary liquor license and hires; Truth in Taxation meeting set
Summary
Council accepted two donations to the Ivanhoe Ambulance, authorized interfund transfers for FY25, approved temporary liquor licenses for the Ivanhoe Liquor Store, set the Truth in Taxation hearing for Dec. 8, 2025, and approved two hires for the liquor store.
At its Oct. 13 meeting the Ivanhoe City Council approved a package of routine financial and administrative actions, including accepting donations to the Ivanhoe Ambulance, authorizing interfund transfers, approving temporary liquor licenses for the Ivanhoe Liquor Store, setting the Truth in Taxation meeting and approving two hires.
Donations and transfers: the council adopted Resolution 2025-47 accepting a $4,606.30 donation from the Ivanhoe Fire Relief Association to the Ivanhoe Ambulance and Resolution 2025-48 accepting a $305.25 donation from Alter Metal for ambulance operations. The council also adopted Resolution 2025-49 authorizing FY25 second-half transfers from the General Fund to the Fire Fund ($15,000), Library Fund ($16,000) and EDA Fund ($5,000).
Liquor license and hires: Resolution 2025-50 authorized temporary intoxicating liquor licenses for the Ivanhoe Liquor Store for events on Nov. 23, 2025 and Jan. 4, 2026; the store provided liquor-liability insurance. Separately, council approved hiring Bruce Bultinck as a cook and Samantha Adkison as a bartender at the Ivanhoe Liquor Store at $13.00 per hour.
Truth in Taxation and invoices: council set the Truth in Taxation meeting for Dec. 8, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. The council also approved the Oct. 13 invoice batch totaling $112,468.90; the minutes record council members Brad Blanchette, Kyle Krier and Adam Panka voting to approve the invoices while Mayor Shad Lipinski abstained.
Why it matters: the actions finalize small but material items in the city’s operations and budget calendar ahead of the budget and Truth in Taxation process. The transfers and donations affect fund balances for fire, library and EDA operations for FY25.
