Knox City Council to Consider Loans between City Funds to Prepare for COVID-19 Impact

The Knox City Council will take steps tonight to prepare for COVID-19’s impact on the city’s finances. Council members will consider temporary loans of $150,000 from the Economic Development Income Tax Fund to the General Fund and $35,000 from the Rainy Day Fund to the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund. Mayor Dennis Estok told the board of works Friday that MVH is expected to take a big hit.

A peddler ordinance will be presented on first reading tonight. Council members will be asked to officially move the Primary Election Day holiday from May 5 to June 2, after the board of works approved the change last week.

Tonight’s Knox City Council meeting starts at 7:00 at the Nancy J. Dembowski Community Center.
