Council adopts supplemental appropriation ordinance and approves several claims
Summary
Council approved the second reading of Ordinance 1289 (Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance) by roll call and approved multiple claims and budget supplements, including an automatic $4,215.52 street-lighting reimbursement tied to a USAA claim.
The Hot Springs City Council adopted the second reading of Ordinance 1289, a supplemental appropriation ordinance for 2026, and approved multiple financial claims during Thursday's meeting.
Miss Tewitz conducted a roll-call vote for the ordinance; council members Gary Telkamp, Linda Varvel, J.R. Huddleston, Dave Burris, Bill Lukens, Deborah Johnston, Larry Pratt and Craig Romy each recorded "yes," and the motion passed on second reading.
Earlier in the meeting, council approved interim bills of $175,912.84 and current claims of $270,072.45 by motion and voice vote. The council also approved Wells Fargo credit card claims totaling $6,196.84.
Council later approved an automatic budget supplement of $4,215.52 to the general fund to cover street-lighting repairs and the replacement and reinstallation of light pole No. 34 on University Avenue; council materials show the revenue source for that supplement was a USAA claim (claim No. 037944201-800).
The council also authorized a possible future supplemental appropriation of $850 from the general fund for travel and training for the building/code official to attend FEMA flood-plain management training if registration becomes available.
Each of these financial actions passed by the votes recorded at the meeting; no dissenting recorded votes were noted in the transcript.
