ITEM 7: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A REQUEST
FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION AND AMENDMENT TO THE
GENERAL FUND BUDGET.
Ms Bishop said that a police vehicle was involved in an accident in July. The insurance provider
totaled the vehicle and issued a check to the city in the amount of $12,254.09. In order for the
police depaliment to use these funds to apply toward the purchase of another vehicle, an
amendment to the budget is needed. Because the increase in revenues and expenditures is equal,
the budget supplement will have no effect on the fund balance in the General Fund. Mr Brogdon
moved, seconded by Ms Voss, to approve a General Fund budget supplement increasing
revenues by $12,254 and increasing expenditures in the Police Department capital outlay line
item by the same amount.

received, and the mid-size police vehicle is the 2001 Chevrolet Impala. The state bid dealership
