Finance Committee approves small appropriations, insurance proceeds and training reimbursement

The Finance Committee approved three routine appropriation requests during its meeting.

Committee members approved a $2,584.75 appropriation described as a credit from a supply vendor (motion by Barker; second by Chiu) and a $37,106.23 appropriation using insurance proceeds to cover bills from water damage caused by a leaking second‑floor fountain (motion by Barker; second by Cost). Staff also requested a $795 reimbursement for police‑division training that was paid for but subsequently canceled; the committee approved that request as well (motion by Barker; second by Cost). Each of these motions passed by recorded committee votes of 5–0.

Committee members had no substantive questions on these items and the chair moved them forward to the full council as routine business.
