The board approved an ordinance on first reading to amend the current budget to account for increased expenditures, including a transfer of $94,000 to the Industrial Development Board for water and sewer lines going to Integrity Tool and Mold and Murco Wall Products in Dan Speer Industrial Park South and  transfer of $207,000 to pay for a garbage truck.

Also, approved on first reading was an increase in the paving budget for the Street Department to $700,000 to account for state paving and paving done in Industrial Park South.

The board will hold a public hearing on the budget amendment at 12:10 p.m. during its May 12 meeting at the City Hall.
