Council adopts budget amendment, shifts $3,000 into dispatch

The Chair presented the budget and an amendment that moved $3,000 from the reserve fund into the dispatch line for police and fire. A council member moved to schedule the ordinance and the Chair instructed the city secretary to conduct a record vote. When roll call was taken, multiple members recorded affirmative votes and the Chair declared the ordinance approved.

The Chair described the change as a loan amendment to the budget packet: "moving $3,000 from the reserve fund into the dispatch, which would be the police and fire department," and the council then completed a recorded vote. The transcript records affirmative responses from Darlene Kelly, Brian Lamy, Steve Gray and Mayor Seymour when their names were called; the motion carried on the record vote.
