In a recent meeting, the Moscow City Council approved an increase in the appropriation of $45,000 from the Idaho Department of Transportation's Office of Highway Safety. This funding, which had already received prior approval, will support grant programs and activities outlined in the highway safety plan, specifically benefiting the Moscow Police Department. The funds will be allocated to information systems under federal grants and will be expensed from the public safety budget for the fiscal year 2024.

The council discussed the budget adjustments, noting that the proposal had been thoroughly reviewed in a previous meeting. Council members expressed their support for the ordinance, which was passed without further discussion. The ordinance, identified as 2020 414, amends the annual appropriation ordinance for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2023, and ending September 30, 2024, appropriating a total of $2,510,000.

The meeting concluded with a brief report from Sandra regarding the urban renewal agency, indicating ongoing discussions and collaborative efforts among council members.
