Approval of Budget Transfers & Adjustments for the Fiscal Year 2011/2012

Alderman O’Donohue made a motion to accept the changes to FY 2011/2012 and the Resolution including the changes and Alderman Anderson seconded it. Mayor Snyder said this Resolution lays out the changes to the FY 2011/2012 budget. Mr. Bates said he wanted to point out that this was just rearranging line items and is not, increasing any expenditures to the old budget. Alderman Anderson said that was correct. There were ten yeas (Alderman Anderson, Alderman Armbrust, Alderman Bacon, Alderman Busby, Alderman Hoinacki, Alderman Horn, Alderman Neitzel, Alderman O’Donohue, Alderman Tibbs, and Alderman Wilmert), zero nays, and none absent; motion carried.

Approval of Budget for the Fiscal Year 2012/2013

Alderman O’Donohue moved to accept the Resolution for Fiscal Year 2012/2013 and Alderman Anderson seconded it. Mayor Snyder said this incorporates the general fund budget as well as the special funds. Alderman Anderson said she was glad it was done and the Committee managed to get it balanced. Alderman Anderson thanked City Treasurer Mr. Conzo for his help in getting the budget completed as well as the participation of several of the other Aldermen (Alderman Wilmert and Alderman O’Donohue) that spent some time with them learning how they go through this process. City Treasurer Mr. Conzo wanted to add to that, recognizing the incredible amount of work done by Alderman Anderson and he didn’t think people realized how much extra work is involved for her in doing that and has done a wonderful job and important that it did not go unrecognized.

Mayor Snyder thanked the Department Heads and those that worked on getting the budget together.
