The Good Thunder City Council voted to transfer $300,000 from the city's 4M account into the general fund and approved a contractor to remove five boulevard trees.
Council moved and seconded Resolution 2026-04, described in the packet as a transfer of $300,000 from the 4M account to the general fund; the motion passed with members voting "aye" and the chair noting the motion carried. Council members said the transfer was prompted by near-term cash needs and upcoming invoices tied to the project's design and related bills.
On a separate vote, the council approved hiring Carr's Tree Service to remove five dead boulevard trees after staff presented the bid listed in the meeting packet. The council clarified that two additional healthy basswood trees mentioned by a resident were not included in the approved scope and would require a separate authorization.
Council discussion also covered street restriping, bids for tree work, and dumpster/cleanup-day costs; staff were asked to follow up on bids and to get the municipal-advisor materials for project planning.
The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally for either vote; minutes record the motions as carried.
