Summary
The council introduced and approved multiple resolutions including year‑end transfers/encumbrances totaling about $82,652 and a $1,100 additional appropriation for HSIP grant matching funds for crosswalk work near Belmont High School and Middle School; the council also approved a transfer from redevelopment to the HSIP matching fund (Resolution 2025‑20).
Decatur City Council moved several routine fiscal items and approved them by voice vote during the meeting.
Council introduced and adopted a resolution authorizing end‑of‑year transfers and incumbrances so certain invoices can be charged to the 2026 budget. Staff reported incumbrances for the coming budget year totaling approximately $82,652, with breakout figures cited in the meeting: general fund $29,790; economic development $136,547 (transcription contains spacing and possible transcription errors); public safety $19,756.40; and cumulative capital development $19,500.
The council opened a public hearing for an additional appropriation to the HSIP matching fund (HSIP supports safety crosswalk work near Belmont High School and Middle School). Staff said the engineering firm USI is more than 60% complete and the city needs an additional $1,100 to reflect matching funds. No members of the public spoke in favor or opposition; the hearing was closed and the appropriation was adopted.
Council introduced and approved Resolution 2025‑9 (additional appropriation) and then passed Resolution 2025‑20 to transfer funds from redevelopment to the HSIP matching fund. The transcript records motions, seconds and unanimous voice votes recorded as "all in favor," but it does not print a roll‑call tally by name.
The meeting record also included a motion to pay claims and an approval to adjourn.
