Chillicothe Council met briefly in special session Monday evening and passed all four items on first reading.
Parks & Rec chair Ceil Corcoran explained that her ordinance to pay contractors for repairing the roof on the old armory building in Yoctangee Park is the result of a grant. She said they are required to pay for the work first, and then the $250,000 of city money will be reimbursed by the grant.
She said she was happy to see the company get paid before Christmas, to reduce a little of the suffering this year.
Finance chair Dustin Proehl saw three other ordinances passed. One transferred funds to keep the city's balance in the positive at the end of the year, another set the city credit card policy as required by the state, and the third transferred $125,000 for city income tax refunds.
