The Winamac Town Council has agreed to let the town spend almost $246,000 beyond what was listed in this year’s budget. An additional appropriation ordinance was unanimously approved during a special meeting last week.
Much of that money appears to be coming from grants and donations that weren’t listed in the 2020 budget. That includes permission to spend almost $190,000 in Community Crossings money for street projects and almost $6,100 in fireworks donations. The ordinance also allows another $50,000 to be spent from Economic Development Income Tax revenues.
No comments were offered during a public hearing on the additional appropriations.
