During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the allocation of $300,000 for the design and construction of a new park at 14 West Jefferson Street. The conversation centered around the procedural steps necessary to bring this funding request before the finance committee.

Initially, there was some confusion regarding whether a formal motion was required to recommend the funding to the finance committee. However, it was clarified that a simple request to include the park project in the upcoming budget discussions would suffice. The committee agreed that the chair, Janet, would reach out to finance committee chair Jim to ensure the project is added to the agenda for their next meeting.

The discussion emphasized that since the funding is intended for the 2025 budget, no immediate vote was necessary. Instead, the committee members expressed their consensus on the request, allowing for a streamlined approach to budget planning.

Additionally, the meeting addressed the funding of the Request for Proposal (RFP) related to the park project, confirming that it would be included in the capital request for the upcoming budget cycle.

No public comments were made during the meeting, and the session concluded without any further business or the need for an executive session. The meeting was adjourned following a motion and a unanimous vote in favor.
