amendment

Albany City Council held a brief call meeting last Wednesday afternoon with all council members present.

The only item of business on the agenda was to approve final reading of a 2011-12 fiscal year budget amendment, in the total amount of $552,377.65.

The revenue added into the current years’ budget was primarily grant funds for various water projects, including $120,000 for a line to assist Blue Grass Stockyards, a $61,793 allotment for the water tank project in eastern Clinton County at Duvall Valley and various amounts of projects related to the utility relocation for the U.S. 127 Bypass project.

The motion to approve second reading of the budget amendment was made by Councilman James “Smitty” Smith, seconded by Councilwoman Mary Faye Stockton and passed by unanimous vote.

The next regular meeting of Albany City Council is scheduled for Tuesday, July 3 at 5 p.m. at city hall and is open to the general public.
