The council adopted Resolution 1905‑01 to move $3,500 into the police CD, directed the clerk to prepare a resolution to transfer $13,359.57 from emergency checking to the streets account, and noted Alliant franchise fees of $24,637.92 will cover the city’s share of a Region 6 housing rehab project; council also asked staff to explore funding options for a trailer court sale reportedly carrying about $180,000 in debt.
Melbourne City Council on May 13 approved Resolution 1905‑01 to transfer $3,500 into the police certificate of deposit as provided in the 2018–19 budget. Clerk Mary Pothast presented the resolution; Council member Gibbs moved for approval and Council member Stahl seconded the motion. The roll call vote was unanimous.
The clerk reported that $13,359.57 remained accumulated in the emergency checking account as of May 7, 2019. After discussion, the council directed the clerk to prepare a resolution for consideration at the next meeting to transfer those emergency funds into the streets account so they can be spent for street-related needs. The minutes record the direction but do not include the drafted resolution or a timeline for its introduction.

Separately, the city was informed by Amy Kohlwes that she is selling a trailer court and believes she owes about $180,000 on the property; the council directed the clerk to investigate available funding options. No formal funding commitments were made during the meeting.
