Nelsonville council enacts emergency amendment to 2026 appropriations ordinance
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 50-26 on first reading under emergency rules to amend the 2026 appropriations ordinance, updating Economic Development and Street Construction line items and authorizing the auditor to submit amended budget materials to the county budget commission.
The Nelsonville City Council on June 29 adopted Ordinance 50-26, an emergency amendment to the city's 2026 appropriations ordinance that updates specified funds and authorizes the city auditor to submit amended budget materials to the Athens County Budget Commission.
The ordinance amends line items identified in Exhibit A, including Economic Development (1200-120-40010) and Street Construction (200-150-80000009). The council discussed that the auditor is authorized to request a certificate of resources from the county commission and that the amended funds are not appropriated until the certificate of revenue is received.
Council members voted to suspend the two-reading requirement and enacted the amendment on first reading under OC 731.30 and sections 4.09—64.11 of the Nelsonville city charter. Roll call votes recorded affirmative votes by Nick Joseph, Amy Holland, Cameron Peek, Nancy Sonic and Charlotte Beach.
Why it matters: the amendment reallocates or clarifies spending authority for identified line items to provide for current expenditures and empowers the auditor to complete the administrative steps required by the county budget commission.
The transcript does not specify the exact dollar amounts attached to Exhibit A within the meeting record; Exhibit A was referenced as the attached budget schedule.
