Summary

Council adopted Ordinance No. 47 84 to carry forward prior‑biennium capital project budget authority into the 2025–26 biennial budget, as staff had requested.

The City Council approved an ordinance (No. 47 84) on Aug. 18 to carry forward remaining capital project budget authority from the 2023–24 biennium into the 2025–26 biennium.

Interim Finance Director Griselda Garcia — appearing remotely — explained staff previously shared the list of active projects with available budget and that the ordinance formally authorizes the supplemental appropriations necessary to complete those projects.

Action and vote: A motion to adopt Ordinance No. 47 84 amending the 2025–26 biennial budget for carryovers was made by Mayor Pro Tem Grama and seconded by Councilmember Barajas; the motion passed unanimously.

Why it matters: Carryover ordinances are a standard budgetary housekeeping step to allow multi‑year capital projects to continue into the next budget period without interruption. The consent agenda earlier in the meeting also included claims totaling $4,648,953.92, which the council approved as part of routine fiscal items.

Ending: Finance staff will execute budget changes following ordinance publication and integrate updates into the city’s financial tracking for the biennium.
