Ravena Village board reviews budget transfers and records grant reimbursement deposit

Speaker 1 outlined several budget adjustments at the Jan. 20, 2026 meeting, including an increase to the CHIPS (Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program) permanent improvements line by $57,281.46 and multiple internal transfers.

Details read into the record included a $50 transfer from street maintenance (light and power) to street maintenance (unclassified); $950 from contingency to other employee benefits for unemployment; $2,022 from contingency to state retirement in the water fund; $105 reallocation within sanitary sewer accounts; $4,686 moved from engineering legal services to state retirement; and a $7,500 transfer from general checking to water checking. Speaker 1 also reported that a fluoride grant reimbursement was directly deposited into the general fund.

Speaker 4 seconded procedural acceptance; board members voiced agreement in favor of the adjustments. The transcript records the transfers and the board’s assent but does not include a detailed roll‑call vote. The board did not provide additional narrative on the source of the CHIPS increase beyond the dollar amount or on longer‑term budget impacts in the recorded discussion.
