Council approves $78,644 supplemental appropriation, includes $50,000 fire donation
Summary
Bristol City Council unanimously approved a $78,644 supplemental appropriation covering a June 25, 2025 credit card statement (from beginning fund balance) and accepted $50,000 in donations from Appalachian Power Foundation for Fire Department equipment.
The Bristol City Council on July 22 approved a supplemental appropriation of $78,644 to cover a June 25, 2025 credit card statement and to recognize donations to the Fire Department. Assistant City Manager and CFO Tamrya Spradlin presented the request and recommended approval.
"This item is a Supplemental Appropriation in the amount of $78,644," Tamrya Spradlin said, explaining that general fund appropriations would be drawn from the beginning fund balance to cover the June expenditure. She also reported donations of $50,000 from the Appalachian Power Foundation designated to purchase Fire Department equipment.
Council moved to approve the appropriation (moved by Neal Osborne; seconded by Anthony Farnum) and the motion passed 4-0. The transcript lists multiple line-item coding allocations for how the general fund expenditures would be applied; the meeting record does not specify additional policy conditions tied to the donation.
The donation was recorded to fund equipment for the Fire Department; the credit card payment was funded from beginning fund balance as described by staff. The council did not amend the allocation schedule at the meeting.
