Minutes of Special Meeting of Council of Ogden City, Utah, October 11, 2016 Page Minutes of the Special Meeting of the Ogden City Council held on Tuesday, October 11, 2016 at 6:10 p.m., in the Council Chambers on the third floor of the Municipal Building, 2549 Washington Boulevard, Ogden City, Weber County, Utah. Present: Chair Marcia L. White Vice Chair Bart E. Blair Council members Neil K. Garner Richard A. Hyer Luis Lopez Ben Nadolski Doug Stephens Council Executive Director Bill Cook Council Deputy Director Janene Eller-Smith Council Policy Analyst Glenn Symes Council Policy Analyst Amy Sue Mabey Communications Manager Brittany Griffin Also present: Mayor Michael P. Caldwell Chief Administrative Officer Mark Johnson Comptroller Lisa Stout Deputy City Recorder Abbie Hufstetler Proposed Ordinance 2016- 56 amending the budget for the Fiscal Year July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 by increasing the anticipated revenues and transfers for a gross increase of $3,000,000 A memo from the Comptroller regarding a proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 budget amendment came before the Council for consideration. The memo stated City Administration is proposing to transfer $500,000 from Retained Earnings in the Medical Services Fund to the Fleet and Facilities Fund for purchase of a new quint (ladder/pumper) fire truck. The $500,000 will be combined with existing fleet replacement funds for a total of $940,000 which should cover the cost of the quint. The Administration is also requesting an increase in the Neighborhood Development Division’s budget to accommodate the additional activity in the infill program. The amount approved in the FY2017 budget was $1,578,800 of which $1,229,029 has already been spent. The Division needs the increased budget approved in order to complete all of the projects currently underway which include housing projects on Fowler, Gramercy, Eccles, Quincy, Brinker and Madison Avenues. The additional $2 million does not represent additional City funds. Because this project is self-funding, the additional $2 million budget will allow for additional activity in the program. Funding will continue to come from the Synchrony Bank line of credit and the sale of properties. Chair White then introduced in writing proposed Ordinance 2016-56, entitled: “An ordinance of Ogden City amending the budget for the Fiscal Year July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 by increasing the anticipated revenues for a gross increase of $3,000,000 from sources as detailed in the body of this ordinance; and increasing the appropriations for a gross increase of $3,000,000 as detailed in the body of this ordinance; and providing that this ordinance shall become effective immediately upon posting after final passage.” A copy of the proposed ordinance was deposited with the City Recorder and ordered that the City Recorder have at least one copy available for public inspection in her office during all business hours.
