Synopsis prepared 06/25/10vw Page 2 of 3 Consideration of Bids, Contracts, Agreements and Expenditures 1. 1st Reading 2010-2011 Budget A Motion by Shirley Sessions to approve the budget was seconded by Paul Wolff. Wanda Doyle moved for an amendment to the budget to restore the City Marshal position to a 40 hour week with half the time as City Marshal and the other half spent on duties as the Police Department deems necessary. Request failed for lack of a second. Wanda Doyle moved to add $10,580 for the McKenzie St. Crosswalk back into the budget if possible, Shirley Sessions seconded. Mayor Buelterman asked if that money could be taken from the Public Safety SPLOST that includes things such as sidewalks, etc. Mr. Wolff said that money is for the Public Safety Building and he doesn’t think they can redirect it. Mayor Buelterman said we determine out of the allotment of money where it will be spent but there is a limited list of approved projects which this expense might fall under. Bubba Hughes said it’s hard to say without looking at the resolution but thinks as long as it’s a capital project that’s included among the list of SPLOST projects; you can move funds around. Mayor Buelterman said we have $327,000 in there. Mr. Wolff said the $327,000 is for engineering for the public safety building and he doesn’t think we can redirect those funds. Mayor Buelterman said we can because we get to decide where on the list to spend the money but there is a limited list. Bubba Hughes said he didn’t recall whether the crosswalk project was within that list but he can check. Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Doyle and Ms. Sessions to prioritize the crosswalk on the deferred list and bring it back to the first meeting in July in order to be able to get the information on SPLOST. Wanda Doyle withdrew her motion and Shirley Sessions withdrew her second. Mayor Buelterman asked for the vote on the motion to approve the budget for 1st reading. The vote was Sessions, Wolff, Garbett, Schuman and Williams in favor and Doyle opposed. A Motion by Paul Wolff to approve the budget for 2nd reading was seconded by Kathryn Williams.
