Commission approves second reading of budget amendment to fund Forest Lake projects and loan forgiveness
Summary
The commission approved a second‑reading budget amendment that uses ARPA interest earnings and impact‑fee funds for a Forest Lake driving range project and authorizes loan forgiveness and a lease termination buyout; Finance Director Weber said the amendment is unchanged from the first reading and recommended approval.
Finance Director Weber presented the second reading of a budget‑amendment ordinance that includes two items: (1) loan forgiveness and the utilities fund adjustment for a Forest Lake lease termination buyout, and (2) funding for the Forest Lake Golf Course driving range project using accumulated ARPA interest earnings and recreation impact fees. Weber told the commission there were no changes since the first reading and staff recommended approval.
The commission opened and closed the public hearing with no public speakers on the amendment. Weber noted the deadline for spending ARPA funds: "The final date for the way disbursement of all ARPA funds is December 31." A motion to approve the ordinance was made and seconded; the motion "carried unanimously with Commissioner Oliver absent," according to the record.
