Thomasville council approves $303,700 budget amendment to cover insurance proceeds, software and theater study
Summary
The Thomasville City Council unanimously approved Budget Amendment 2025 P-10-01, a $303,700 package funded by insurance proceeds and higher interest revenue to cover police vehicle insurance recovery, software purchases, and a Palace Theater feasibility study.
The Thomasville City Council unanimously approved Budget Amendment 2025 P-10-01 on April 21, 2025, appropriating $303,700 to cover several one-time expenses and studies. City Manager Brandt told the council the amendment was balanced by insurance proceeds from a police-vehicle accident and higher-than-expected interest earnings.
The amendment allocates funds for software purchases across two city departments and provides funding for a feasibility study for the Palace Theater, a project the city described as intended to evaluate cultural and economic benefits. Council Member Hunter Thrift moved to approve the amendment; Council Member Doug Hunt seconded, and the motion passed 6-0.
The council did not specify line-item amounts for each software purchase in the public minutes. The minutes note only the amendment's total ($303,700) and the revenue sources as insurance proceeds and increased interest revenue. City Manager Brandt characterized the adjustments as measures to maintain the city's financial position while addressing immediate operational needs.
Next steps: the amendment was adopted at the meeting and will be incorporated into the city's fiscal records; the minutes indicate the Palace Theater feasibility study will proceed, but no timeline or contractor was specified.
