Council approves two year‑end line‑item transfers for parks utilities and police pension

The Franklin City Council approved two administrative transfers to close year‑end gaps.

Director of Parks and Recreation Chip Horner requested permission to transfer $12,000 from fund parts 200 to parts 300 to cover parks utility expenses for the remainder of 2025; Council moved and seconded the budgetary ordinance 25‑05 and approved it by voice vote.

Clerk Treasurer Jan Jones explained a separate transfer of $21,000 within police pension accounts was needed to cover pension payments after a payroll miscalculation by a prior payroll clerk. Council moved and seconded Budgetary Resolution 25‑06 and approved it by voice vote.

Both items were presented as internal adjustments to ensure year‑end obligations are met and did not create new budget authority beyond reallocating existing funds.
