COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Columbus City Council met Tuesday and unanimously approved $66,000 for the city’s Transit-COVID fund. The provision is to be paid for entirely by the federal COVID CARES grant the city received.
The need for certain capital expenditures became apparent after the October 2020 annual budget adoption.
In other business, the council was introduced to the new Columbus City Utilities director, Roger Kelso. Interim director Keith Reeves then presented the agency’s proposed 2022 budget that projects an income increase and a reduction in professional engineering charges. There are two categories of capital improvements: depreciation expenses and bond issues.
