Green City Council adopts year‑end appropriation amendment, approves minutes and several reappointments
Summary
At its Nov. 26 meeting the Green City Council adopted a year‑end appropriation amendment that produced a $1,844,108.25 net giveback to city funds, approved routine minutes and the October financial report, and confirmed multiple commission reappointments in unanimous recorded votes.
The Green City Council on Nov. 26 adopted Resolution 2024‑R‑65, a year‑end amendment adjusting appropriations that the finance committee reported produced a net giveback of $1,844,108.25 to various city funds.
Finance Committee Chair Neuschabauer told council the amendment combined transfers and adjustments to ensure sufficient funding through the end of the year, and moved to adopt R‑65 as amended. The clerk recorded a roll‑call vote; the measure passed 5–0 with the present members recorded in the affirmative.
Neuschabauer summarized related committee work and said the committee had reviewed multiple second‑reading items — including contracts for income tax collection and the 2025 operating and capital appropriation packages — and requested additional time so those measures can return to council with final language.
The council also approved two routine items at the start of the meeting. President Mager moved to approve the Nov. 12 meeting minutes (TMP‑4795) and later moved to approve the October 2024 electronic financial report (TMP‑4802), each motion carried on a recorded roll call vote.
Separately, the council confirmed reappointments to local commissions. Chair Miller moved to reappoint Clark Westfall to the Civil Service Commission; the motion passed on a recorded vote. Miller then moved to reappoint Laurel Young and Jeffrey Mills to the Income Tax Review Committee; that motion also passed on a recorded roll call.
All recorded roll‑call votes taken during the meeting passed unanimously among members present. Several other ordinance and resolution items were discussed in committee and were carried forward for additional time, including a proposed cooperative agreement with the Green Local School District for a joint bus garage and the city’s recommended 2025 operating and capital appropriation ordinances.
The council did not take final action on several committee items at this meeting; committees asked for additional time to finalize language or gather further information before second or third readings. The council adjourned following the recorded votes.
