Green City Council adopts multiple bond measures and budget amendment to fund road projects
Summary
The Green City Council on June 23 adopted several bond ordinances and an amended budget memorandum to finance Southwood Drive phases, street improvements and a bond refunding; council approved each item on third reading after committee reports from finance.
The Green City Council voted June 23 to adopt a slate of bond ordinances and a budget amendment intended to fund local road projects and refund outstanding securities.
Finance Chair Councilman Humphrey told the council the committee had discussed and amended 2026-R27 and that the new memorandum totals $529,258.99; the council adopted R27 as amended on a roll call vote. Humphrey then presented three ordinances on third reading authorizing bond issuances: 2026-11 (up to $1,500,000 for Phase 1 of the Southwood Drive extension), 2026-12 (up to $3,900,000 for various street improvements including Arlington/Butler Road work), and 2026-13 (up to $1,400,000 for Phase 2 of the Southwood Drive extension). Each ordinance was moved, seconded and adopted on roll call.
The council also adopted 2026-14, an ordinance authorizing the issuance of refunding general obligation bonds in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $12,865,000 to refund maturities of the city’s outstanding general obligation bonds issued in 2016 and 2020. Humphrey described the ordinance as a typical refunding measure to manage the city’s debt service schedule.
All of the bond measures were presented as third-reading items in the finance committee and were adopted with motions and roll-call votes during the council meeting. The council clerk announced that motions carried following each roll call.
What happens next: the adopted ordinances were declared emergencies where noted in the text read into the record; implementation steps such as bond issuance scheduling and project contracting proceed under the city administration and finance department oversight. No substantive amendments or dissent were recorded during the council vote.
