Council advances correction to Motor Vehicle Highway budget and hears $500,000 appropriation request
Summary
Council held a public hearing on a $500,000 additional appropriation from the restricted Motor Vehicle Highway fund, later passing an ordinance to correct a clerical error that underreported the MVH budget; Clerk Treasurer said the correction will not affect taxpayers.
At the May 6 meeting staff opened a public hearing on a requested additional appropriation of $500,000 from the restricted Motor Vehicle Highway (MVH) fund, explaining the appropriation is necessary because the MVH budget was under-budgeted and that notice was published per state code. No members of the public spoke during the hearing.
Later in the meeting staff said the MVH budget was submitted as $60,000 rather than $600,000 and that ordinance BUD02 corrects that clerical error; the council passed the ordinance on second reading. Clerk Treasurer Stonecipher publicly clarified the adjustment is clerical only and "is not going to affect taxpayers" because MVH is a restricted fund supported by its own excise tax revenue.
