Ashville council adopts two emergency ordinances to add loan resources and appropriate payments
Summary
The Ashville Village Council voted to waive remaining readings and adopt two emergency ordinances: one adding newly approved loan funds to the village’s certificate of resources and another making supplemental appropriations to pay a contractor. Both measures passed on roll call after brief discussion of auditor notification and minor text corrections.
The Ashville Village Council unanimously waived the remaining readings and adopted two emergency measures to update the village’s financial records and authorize payments.
Council moved first on ordinance 20-26-17, which adds recently approved loan funds to the village’s certificate of resources so the fiscal officer can notify the auditor. April (staff member) explained the change as an administrative step to inform the accounting auditor that the village is receiving additional loan money. A council member moved to waive second and third readings and declare the ordinance an emergency; the motion passed on a roll call vote with all members voting yes.
Shortly after, council considered ordinance 20-26-18, a supplemental-appropriations ordinance that would appropriate funds for current expenses and authorize payment—specifically to Darby Creek Excavating for recent work. Councilors noted a minor typographical issue in section language that staff said would be corrected; a motion to waive the remaining readings and adopt as an emergency was moved and carried on roll call with affirmative votes. One council member described both actions as necessary to put funds into the accounting system promptly and to allow payments to be made while preserving proper audit trails.
The council did not attach any new policy changes to the measures; both were presented as technical actions to recognize funds and authorize spending so invoiced work can be paid. The mayor closed the segment by recording the official roll-call outcomes.
