Council adopts appropriation ordinance with emergency clause
Summary
Council approved an ordinance making appropriations for current expenses and other expenditures and invoked an emergency clause; the ordinance passed 7–0 and was recorded as O2610.
Council adopted an ordinance to make appropriations for current expenses and other expenditures for the City of Amherst and declared an emergency so the ordinance could take effect promptly.
Clerk read the ordinance text. Finance Committee Chair Dimbinski noted that the emergency clause had been added at the Feb. 23 meeting and that it was not read on the agenda packet; the clerk confirmed the ordinance text was correct. The council then voted by roll call to suspend the three‑reading rule and adopt on the second reading; the motion passed 7–0 and the ordinance was recorded as O2610.
What’s next: staff will implement the appropriations as authorized and adhere to any reporting requirements tied to the ordinance’s emergency provision.
