Auburn council approves second amendment to 2025–26 biennial budget (Ordinance 69-91)

The Auburn City Council on Aug. 4 adopted Ordinance 69-91, the second amendment to the city’s 2025–26 biennial budget. Council member Baldwin moved approval and Council member Clinton Taylor seconded. Baldwin said the ordinance “authorizes the adjustment to capital project budgets, recognition of new grants and adjustments to existing estimated grant budgets, as well as authorization for one new full-time employee position and limited request for new budget authority as had been reviewed at our last study session.” Council members said staff had addressed committee questions and recommended approval; the mayor announced the ordinance passed on a voice vote. The transcript does not provide specific dollar amounts for the budget adjustments, nor does it list the department for the new full-time position. Baldwin noted the amendments had been reviewed at the prior study session. No amendments or roll-call vote were recorded in the meeting transcript.
