Topeka city council to take up spending of $574,000 in unbudgeted revenue

Topeka’s governing body on Dec. 4 will hold a public hearing on whether to make five amendments to the city’s 2018 adopted budget adding a total of $574,000 in revenues the city has brought in that weren’t previously budgeted.

The money would finance various purposes, including putting up a fence at the Law Enforcement Center, 320 S. Kansas Ave., according to a document in Tuesday’s meeting’s agenda packet. The proposed amendments would earmark $60,000 to go toward tax increment financing, $300,000 for the information technology fund, $106,000 for the city’s special alcohol fund, $85,000 for the S.E. 29th Community Improvement District Fund and $23,000 for the law enforcement fund. The law enforcement fund money would go for purposes that include a Law Enforcement Center fence.
