Commission amends and adopts 2026 appropriations ordinance, adds $90,834.99 in targeted items
Summary
The commission approved amendments to the 2026 appropriations ordinance that increase totals by $90,834.99 to cover items including fire equipment, a park sign, SOPEC splashpad electric work, and a court copier; the amended ordinance was adopted on second reading.
City Auditor Shelly Clonch presented amendments to the appropriations ordinance on March 3 that increase several line items. Noted changes included $26,515 added to Fire (grant equipment & volunteer firemen), $46,000 to General Capital Improvements for a park sign, $10,119.99 to SOPEC Community Reinvestment (splashpad electric), and $8,200 to Court Probation Services (copier), for a total increase of $90,834.99.
Commissioners said these changes were discussed at the previous budget work session. Dr. Thomas moved to amend the ordinance per the auditor's submission and Mr. Carter seconded; the commission voted yes on the amendment and then voted to adopt the amended appropriations ordinance (Ordinance O2026-03) on the second reading.
The record indicates the amendments reflect prior budget work-session decisions; next steps for projects funded by these adjustments were not detailed during the meeting.
