Hays council approves roughly $50,000 budget amendment to secure grant-funded generators
Summary
City engineers estimated the generator project will cost about $50,000 more than the grant amount; council approved a motion to amend the budget to cover the shortfall so the generators can be procured and installed.
Council reviewed an updated cost estimate for grant-funded emergency generators and learned the estimate exceeded the approved grant by approximately $50,000. Mayor Harvey pushed the council to move forward, saying the project has been "languishing for a lot too long" and recommending action to finish the work.
After discussion, a council member moved to amend the budget to include the needed $50,000 and a second was recorded; the motion passed on a voice vote. Staff noted that the amendment will be incorporated into the next budget actions and that the city will seek to proceed promptly to procure the equipment.
