One-point-four million dollars will be transferred from the Hays City Commission Financial Policy Projects line item to the Capital Projects Fund. That move, approved by the city commission Thursday night, allows the city to pay cash for the next big capital project, which is the reconstruction of Vine from 22nd to 13th. Commissioner Henry Schwaller says this is an important moment for the city’s future.
The city transitioned to a pay-as-you-go system for capital projects last year.
