Council reviews budget amendment and parks-board recruitment; votes to enter closed session
Summary
Councilors reviewed an amendment to a prior fiscal-year budget to reflect late-arriving figures (a PAC grant payment was clarified to $34,752, about $5,130 more than previously reported), discussed Minookin Park board recruitment and agreed to move into closed session to consider personnel matters related to appointments.
The council reviewed an amendment to a prior fiscal-year budget required to reconcile late-arriving figures before the audit is finalized. Finance staff explained that a grant payment (PAC grant) was higher than initially reported and clarified the payment received as $34,752, an increase of about $5,130 from the previously reported figure. Staff said the amendment will be included in the audit and recommended amending the current-year budget early in the next budget cycle to reflect final figures.
Council members asked for clarification on the reported numbers. Finance staff confirmed the grant amount and said they will note in the audit that the formal amendment was recorded after some financial adjustments occurred during the year.
On parks business, staff reported that four Minookin Park advisory-board terms expired and two applications have been received. The council agreed to continue advertising for additional applicants to fill the board and discussed reviewing applicant materials in closed session to set appointment dates.
President (S1) moved, a motion was seconded, and the council agreed to go into closed session for personnel matters related to appointments.
No formal public votes on the budget amendment or appointments were recorded during open session in the transcript; staff were directed to procure the documentation needed to finalize the audit and return with any necessary formal agenda items for a future legislative meeting.
