Staff seeks $83,500 transfer for failing AC units and plumbing repairs; council questioned long-term budgeting
Summary
Staff requested a transfer of $83,500 from wages accounts to building & grounds to replace two failing AC units and repair plumbing in a women's locker room; council pressed for clarity on which building and how shifting frozen wage funds affects next year’s budget.
Beau (staff) said the requested transfer would move $83,500 from wage accounts (positions left unfilled) to building and grounds to replace two failing air-conditioning units and address plumbing issues in a women's locker room. He described the need as an emergency and said the funds were available because several positions had not been filled this year.
Council members asked where the units are located and whether using frozen wage savings would complicate next year’s budgeting. "The transfer will be for $83,500," Beau said. Staff explained the positions were part-time or left open and that restoring those positions later would require a future budget amendment if needed.
