Council unanimously closes Community Celebration Trust Fund, absorbs $567 shortfall
Summary
The City Council adopted Resolution 2026-01 to close the Community Celebration Trust Fund, absorbing a $567 negative balance into the general fund to simplify accounting and aid audit clarity.
The Mosier City Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 2026-01, authorizing the closure and cancellation of the Community Celebration Trust Fund. Finance Director Monica Morris told the council the fund, established by a 2013 resolution, currently carries a negative balance of $567 that will be absorbed by the general fund.
Morris said closing the account will “simplify accounting and ensure a clean audit,” and Councilor Ron Wright moved the resolution with Councilor Noah Estes seconding. The motion carried with all members voting aye: Anderson, Estes, Koerner, Cannon, Wright, Lindemyer and Campbell.
The council record does not specify sources that created the shortfall; staff listed absorbing the deficit into the general fund and did not identify further remedial action. The council did not attach additional conditions or a follow-up financial review to the resolution. The closure was recorded as a formal action in the meeting minutes and will be documented in the next audit cycle.
