Council approves several budget line transfers for emergency lighting, police vehicles and facility cleaning
Summary
Council approved transfers and amendments including $2,900 moved from payroll to emergency lighting (to cover an increased cost), an $11,000 amendment for three Ford Explorers (raising the total to $114,000), and a $5,000 transfer for cleaning of the new Emergency Services Building; minutes contain a minor transcription error for one cost figure.
The council adopted several budget line changes affecting public safety equipment and facility maintenance.
Councilman Boudreaux moved to transfer $2,900 from payroll to emergency lighting to cover an increased cost; the minutes list the increase amount with a typographic error as "$5,29L.78." The correct interpretation is likely $5,291.78; the minutes also note the original budgeted amount was $2,500. The motion was seconded by Councilman Montoucet and carried unanimously according to the minutes.
Councilman Hollier moved to amend the budget by $11,000 from the LACE fund to cover increased prices for three Ford Explorers, raising the total from $103,000 to $114,000; Councilman Bergeron seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Bergeron moved to amend the budget by $5,000 from General Fund/Office Equipment repairs and maintenance to pay for interior bay and concrete-area cleaning at the new Emergency Services Building on Rue Bon Secours. There was no discussion recorded; Councilman Suire seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The minutes do not list purchase orders, vendor names, or implementation dates for the vehicle purchases or cleaning contract.
