Summary

Council adopted Ordinance 26-043 to appropriate an additional $4,000 after the village received a $20,000 Battelle grant but had budgeted only $16,000; roll call was 6–0 in favor with no abstentions.

On second reading the council adopted Ordinance 26-043 to authorize a supplemental appropriation in the general fund tied to grant funding. Finance Director Becky explained the change: "It was the grant from Battelle was received at $20,000, and we had originally put $16,000 in our budget. So we just need to appropriate the other 4,000 so we can spend it."

Council moved, seconded and voted by roll call. Becky carried out the roll call; the tally showed six in favor, none opposed and no abstentions, and the chair announced "Motion carries." The ordinance increases the appropriated amount by $4,000 so the full $20,000 grant can be used as intended; no amendments or conditions were recorded during the meeting.
