Summary

A motion to increase the Sun Valley Marketing Alliance budget to $250,000 by reallocating $40,750 from an aerial ladder truck line item failed after the mayor cast a tie-breaking 'nay' at the Aug. 26 special meeting.

Council Member Michelle Griffith moved to increase funding for the Sun Valley Marketing Alliance to $250,000 by reallocating $40,750 from the aerial ladder truck line item; Council President Bob Youngman seconded the motion. The motion drew two ayes (Youngman, Griffith) and two nays (Franz Suhadolnik, Nils Ribi).

Mayor Dewayne Briscoe cast the tie-breaking vote as a "nay," and the motion therefore failed. The reallocation was discussed amid broader budget deliberations tied to the council's consideration of Ordinance 464, the city's annual appropriation ordinance for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2013.
