Olney amends budgets to accept Musgrove Park fence donation and cover ITEP reimbursable invoices
Summary
Council approved amending the 2025–26 street/parks budgets to accept a $7,200 donation for a Musgrove Park fence extension and to add a $100,000 placeholder for invoices linked to an ITEP downtown streetscape grant that will be reimbursed by IDOT.
City staff proposed amendments to the 2025–26 budgets for the street, parks and cemetery departments to accept a $7,200 donation for a fence extension at Musgrove Park and to add $100,000 to cover invoices tied to an ITEP downtown improvement grant. Staff explained the ITEP grant is reimbursable (IDOT will reimburse eligible invoices) and the city will initially cover costs from the general fund.
Council discussed donor recognition and whether the donation would cover gates and fencing details; staff confirmed the funds would be applied to the fence project. A motion to amend the budgets to reflect the donation and the ITEP placeholder was made and approved.
Representative detail: staff characterized the ITEP grant as "reimbursable grant, so we are paying for those expenses out of our general fund" and asked the council to budget accordingly.
