City Council Approves Adjustments to 2026 General Fund Budget
The City Controller is authorized to adjust the 2026 general fund budget across various departments, including DPW, Police, Fire, Controller's office, Corporation Council, and the Mayor's office. These adjustments reflect savings or reallocation of funds, particularly noting savings in the police department which are then applied to Resolution 4 for the purchase of a new police car.
Jamestown Police Department Authorized to Purchase New Police Vehicle
The Jamestown Police Department is authorized to purchase a 2027 Dodge Durango for $48,898.46, using funds budgeted for 2026. This purchase is part of the department's equipment upgrades.
City Approves Funding for EMS and Fire Training Modules
The council approved an agreement with Lexiprol for EMS and fire training modules, not to exceed $7,433.50, funded by the 2024 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration grant, Year 2 funds. This purchase is necessary to meet updated state requirements for EMT certifications and training, allowing the department to host required classes in-house and comply with pilot program parameters.
Update on 2025 Audit and Preliminary Sales Tax Performance
Erica provided an update on the 2025 audit, which started earlier than last year and is expected to take three weeks on-site. She will provide a timeline for financial reports once available. Preliminarily, sales tax collections for April and May of the second quarter are exceeding last year's figures by over 5% and 14% respectively. While a correction is expected in June, the quarter is projected to end around a 5% increase, though exact figures won't be known for three weeks.
Jamestown to Apply for State Waterfront Revitalization Program Funding
The City Council authorized the Mayor to sign documents related to the submission of an application for the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. This program, managed by the New York State Department of State, offers up to $2 million in funding statewide. The City of Jamestown has successfully applied for and received this funding in the past, notably using $2 million in 2023 for the south basin. This current application aims to secure funds to complete the north part of the basin, building upon previous projects like the kayak launch and dock near Canerella, and ultimately completing the basin portion of the Chatterwood plan.
