Bond for Water Treatment Plant - Originally, the Capital Plan included funding to complete engineering and design for this project (which was approved via Resolution #2023-014) followed by the pursuit of grant funding for construction in 2024; however, during the clean-up after the windstorm event that occurred on December 23 rd and 24th, it was discovered that the state of current equipment was in need of replacement as soon as practicable. This item is on the agenda to answer any questions or concerns prior to the City Council meeting. 01:39:22

Reallocation of Tech Fund to Police Reserve - At its March 2nd meeting, the City Council adopted resolution #2023-017 that approved a $10,542 appropriation from the Technology Fund to update the City’s camera system to comply with FCC regulations. However, anticipated revenue for the Technology Fund has been delayed due to a dispute with a former leaseholder and as a result, the Technology Fund will have a negative fund balance. As such, the appropriation approved in Resolution #2023-017 cannot be made. 01:50:45
