Struthers City Council on June 25 approved three emergency ordinances transferring funds from the 2025 general fund to pension and transportation accounts, the council said.
The ordinances authorized the auditor to transfer $90,000 from the 2025 general fund category to the police pension account (police pension number 100910059004 to police pension fund number 805000047101), $50,000 from the 2025 general fund to the fire pension account (fire pension number 100910059005 to fire pension fund number 810000047101) and $5,000 from the 2025 general fund category 100910059003 to the elderly van revenue category 265000047101. Each ordinance was presented to council and declared an emergency, and members moved to suspend the rules and place the measures for passage the same night.
The motions to suspend the rules and adopt the ordinances were made from the floor (the transcript shows separate motions and seconds for each item) and the council recorded affirmative votes from members present. Council recorded the measures as passed and declared emergency status for the police and fire pension transfers and the elderly van transfer.
The transfers move money within the city's 2025 general fund allocations into dedicated pension and transportation accounts; no additional tax or new revenue source was introduced as part of these ordinances. Council did not provide additional programmatic details in the meeting about how the transferred pension dollars will be spent beyond deposit to the named pension funds.
The ordinances were acted on during the regular meeting after reading by the clerk and motions from councilmembers to suspend rules, followed by roll-call assent from council members present. The measures will be reflected in the city’s fiscal records and the auditor’s accounting for 2025.
