Council approves budget revisions including $50,000 for city manager recruiter and capital reallocations
Summary
Council approved a general fund revision that adds $50,000 to funeral funds to pay for a city manager recruiter contract (funded by reallocating $9,000 from contingencies, leaving a reported post‑adjustment balance of $30,009.73) and approved a capital fund revision reallocating savings from a radar project to cover flower pedestals and closing costs on parkland acquisition.
Staff presented two budget revisions. The general‑fund revision increases funeral funds by $50,000 to pay for a city manager recruiter contract; staff said the increase is covered by reducing contingencies by $9,000 and reported a remaining contingency balance of $30,009.73 after the adjustment.
"This revision increases the budget by 50,000," staff explained, and council moved and seconded the revision. Members discussed small professional‑services increases: a $2,000 allowance for visual design on the 100 Washington Street block and a $3,000 surveying allowance in planning and zoning for an annexation review. Council approved the revision unanimously on voice vote.
Staff also presented a capital fund revision that reallocated funds where needed without changing the fund bottom line. The council approved a $3,300 increase for flower pedestals on Washington Street and a $6,800 increase to cover Depot Parkland closing costs and environmental assessment, funded by savings from a ground‑penetrating radar project for the tennis courts that came in under budget.
