Summary

The council approved use of sewer department reserve account ES884 to fund a sewer improvements capital project (HSAO) and reopened the item to correct a numeric typo; an amendment correcting the figure was carried before final approval.

The council authorized use of funds from the sewer department reserve account ES884 to fund the HSAO sewer improvements capital project (Resolution 97) and then reopened the matter to correct a numeric typo. After a motion to reopen, councilors amended the amount (council discussion noted a discrepancy between 356,000 and 365,000) and the amendment carried; the resolution as amended was then approved by voice vote.

The clerk read the resolution authorizing the transfers and the council initially carried the measure. Shortly afterward, a council member pointed out a typographical error in the legislation and the council moved to reopen the item to make the adjustment. A motion to amend was made, seconded and carried; the amended resolution then passed. The meeting record shows the item was corrected on the floor but does not include a formal line-item breakdown or an explicit final figure in the readout beyond the council's self-correction and amendment vote.

Councilors did not provide additional project-level details (schedule, contractor, or matching funds) during the session. Staff follow-up is expected for precise accounting and to publish the final amended amount in the council minutes and budget documents.
