PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth Common Council held a public hearing and approved Resolution No. 2023-1051 Additional Appropriations Resolution.
Within that resolution the council approved an additional appropriation of $50,000 for General – Engineering to cover the increasing demands and costs of engineering consulting work for projects. The council discussed the potential need to hire a full-time engineer once again moving forward as outsourcing might reach $200,000 before the end of 2023. The original budget for 2023 was for $100,000, of which $60,000 has already been spent for this year.
Within that resolution the council also approved three additional appropriation amounts that were budgeted for 2023 but had not been advertised: those items include $566,398 for the Cemetery, $16,800 for Cumulative Capital Improvement, and $170,000 for Cumulative Capital Development.
The resolution also accepted two donations: $1,500 to the City Monetary Gift Fund to cover the Mayor’s Months of Music, and $1,400 for a Park Gift.
$1,032,000 was appropriated to the Lifelong Learning Network from the American Rescue Plan Act along with $68,609.25 for an Ambulance Chassis from the same fund.
