Whitehall council approves fiscal 2023–24 budget amendment after brief public hearing
Summary
The Whitehall Town Council unanimously approved a fiscal year 2023–24 budget amendment on Feb. 27, 2025, following a five-minute public hearing with no public comment. Council members said balancing lines required use of ARPA funds after higher-than-expected Meadowlark Manor expenses.
The Whitehall Town Council unanimously approved a fiscal year 2023–24 budget amendment at a special meeting on Feb. 27, 2025. Council member Linda Jung moved to approve the amendment and Council member Katy James seconded; the motion carried without dissent.
The amendment was the subject of a brief public hearing that began at 7:15 p.m., during which Council member Sara Unruh read the proposed amendment aloud. Council member Linda Jung identified two typographical errors in the document. Council members Shawn Hoagland and Linda Jung both said budget lines needed to be balanced because the adjustments relied in part on funds from the ARPA fund. Council member Kennedy Kleinsasser said the town had expended more than expected on Meadowlark Manor.
There was no public comment during the hearing, which closed at 7:20 p.m. Later in the special meeting, after routine agenda business, Jung made the motion to approve the amendment and James seconded; the council voted unanimously to adopt the measure. The motion to approve was recorded as carried without objection.
The action follows a short review and technical corrections to the amendment; the transcript does not specify exact line-item amounts or the amendment’s effective date. The council scheduled its next regular meeting for March 17, 2025.
