Bristol council approves $1.25 million supplemental appropriation for schools, grants and golf course
Summary
Council approved a $1,247,533 supplemental appropriation including $1,132,763 in additional state school funding, along with smaller carryovers for forfeiture refunds, a sheriff grant, golf course marketing and CDBG CARES funds.
The Bristol City Council unanimously approved a supplemental appropriation totaling $1,247,533 during its Sept. 10 meeting to carry forward unexpended funds and recognize additional revenue.
Assistant City Manager Tamrya Spradlin presented the staff report, describing the amendment as a mix of carryover items and new state funding for the School Operating Fund. The listed changes in the meeting record included a $14,000 carryover for judicial forfeiture refunds, a $5,000 sheriff grant (Wal‑Mart Grant), $65,000 in anticipated Clear Creek Golf Course membership and marketing revenue and expenditures, $30,770 in Community Development Block Grant (CARES CV3) funds, and $1,132,763 in additional state funding allocated to the School Operating Fund.
"Staff recommends that the Council approve the budget amendment as listed," Ms. Spradlin said. Vice‑Mayor Jake Holmes moved approval; Councilmember Anthony Farnum seconded and the motion was recorded as approved 5‑0.
The appropriation enumerated specific revenue and expenditure line items in the minutes but did not include narrative detail about how the additional school operating funds will be allocated across programs; further budget documents or school finance reports would show that breakdown.
