With the nine-member Fall River City Council continuing to ask the Sixth Floor in Government Center for an updated five year budget forecast that will be delivered post-election, Council voted down spending $539,712 to pay off the previous Winter's Snow and Ice Deficit for Fiscal Year 2021, along with an appropriation Deficit of $759,121.

Council also voted on a motion to reject a request using nearly $1.7 million from the American Rescue Plan Act for Revenue Losses, and nearly $3 million to rehire positions. 

After Fall River City Council President and Mayoral Finalist Cliff Ponte indicated he had questions for The Fall River Public School Department, Council voted down sending $1.6 million to meet 100% of Net School Spending.
