Staff reports $19,100 unspent on consultants; additional funds would require formal appropriation
Summary
Ramona told the committee the consultants' purchase order has an unspent balance of $19,100; she said unencumbered portions of the original $200,000 appropriation reverted to the city on July 1, and any further spending would need approvals by commission and council.
Staff reported there is $19,100 remaining on the purchase order that covers consultant work on the library/city-hall project and warned that unspent funds from the original appropriation reverted to the city at the start of the fiscal year.
"We currently have an available balance unspent of $19,100," Staff member Ramona said, adding that the original $200,000 appropriation had unencumbered funds returned to the city on July 1. She said that if the committee decides to pursue additional work—such as an economic impact study—staff would prepare a resolution and bring it to the Finance and Government Operations commission and then to the full council for an additional appropriation.
Committee members agreed to gather cost estimates for any proposed extra work before scheduling formal votes, and Ramona offered to draft a resolution to circulate to members ahead of the next meeting.
