The Romulus City Council on Nov. 10 approved multiple budget amendments and authorized payment of Warrant 25-21 totaling $5,265,440.95.

Council approved budget amendment 25/26-8 in the amount of $211,419.31 to cover costs associated with reimbursement under the Welch Packaging Brownfield agreement (cited as council resolution 15-349). The motion for second reading and final adoption was made by Councilmember Talley and supported; the motion passed by roll call.

The council also approved budget amendment 25/26-9 in the amount of $201,000 to cover a grant match and additional allowable capital outlay expenses; Councilmember Roscoe moved the measure and it passed on roll-call vote.

Separately, the council approved budget amendment 25/26-10 to recognize $544,122 in revenue from a Federal Emergency Management Agency Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) for lifesaving equipment. That recognition was taken before the later procurement authorization for medical equipment, which the mayor said would use FEMA grant funds.

For fiscal operations, the council approved Warrant 25-21 authorizing payments across multiple funds, with line items listed in the meeting record including general fund ($74,411.43), major street fund ($141,259.88), local street fund ($235,540.53), water and sewer fund ($1,204,971.64), CIP bonds and other funds; the total reported in the transcript is $5,265,440.95. Councilmember Abdo moved paying Warrant 25-21 and the motion was supported; roll-call vote was recorded as affirmative by the members listed in the transcript.

All budget amendments and the warrant passed by roll call with no recorded opposing votes in the meeting record. The transcript records motions, seconds and roll-call confirmations for each action, but does not provide line-item details beyond the warrant schedule or reconcile the timing or sufficiency of specific grant funds against subsequent procurement decisions.
