Hebron directs creation of special funds for Microsoft project and accepts $5,000 Licking County Foundation donation
Summary
Council directed the village solicitor to draft legislation to create two funds — a Microsoft Capital Project Special Fund and a donations fund — and acknowledged a $5,000 donation from the Licking County Foundation to support 2024 community outreach initiatives; the fiscal officer will set up and track the funds.
Council on June 12 directed the village solicitor to draft legislation creating two special funds: one to receive Microsoft capital-project monies and another to receive donations from the Licking County Foundation for community initiatives.
Chief Fiscal Officer Deborah Morgan requested council consider the funds. Councilmember Annelle Porter moved to direct the Village Solicitor to prepare the necessary legislation; the motion passed by unanimous roll call. Economic & Community Development Director Brittany Misner clarified that the Licking County Foundation is donating $5,000 to the village for 2024 community outreach initiatives; Morgan said she will set up a special fund and track the use of the donated monies.
The council did not detail restrictions or an expenditure plan for the donation at this meeting; the solicitor and fiscal officer were directed to prepare legislative language and implement tracking once the fund is established. The action will allow the village to account separately for project-related capital receipts and for externally provided community donations.
