Scott council adopts amended 2020-21 budget and approves 2021-22 budget ordinance
Summary
At a June special meeting, Scott's mayor and council adopted Ordinance #2021-8 (amended FY2020-21) and Ordinance #2021-9 (FY2021-22) following a presentation from Kolder, Champagne, Slave and Company LLC; the minutes include a date and wording discrepancy noted in the record.
The City of Scott's mayor and city council adopted two budget ordinances at a special meeting, the minutes show. Councilman Bergeron moved to adopt Ordinance #2021-8, the amended budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021; Councilman Hollier seconded and the motion carried by majority. Councilman Montoucet then moved to adopt Ordinance #2021-9, the budget ordinance for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022; Councilman Boudreaux seconded and that motion also carried by majority.
Mr. Burton Kolder, CPA and Mr. Brad Kolder, CPA of Kolder, Champagne, Slave and Company, LLC presented the consolidated amended 2020/2021 budget and the proposed 2021/2022 budget. The presenters concluded that revenues had increased relatively while expenses remained largely consistent across the two years, and the council moved to adopt the ordinances with the changes discussed during the hearing.
The minutes contain an apparent inconsistency: an early line states, 'A discussion was held, no action was taken,' while later entries record the motions adopting both ordinances. The record also lists a different session date in one line (June 24, 2020) than the header (June 23, 2021). The minutes note Councilman Suire was absent and that all other members were present. After the recorded motions and votes, the meeting was adjourned.
The minutes do not include roll-call vote tallies or a detailed list of alterations to the budgets; they record only that each motion 'carried by majority.'
