A staff member said the draft budget was adjusted to $12,472,001.32 after adding a $250,000 fix.
The comment came during a review of line items, with the staff member noting revenues of "about 11,270,300" and that they were "just working off of that number" as they checked totals and potential reductions.
The staff member said, "I changed it because we added $250,000 fix. And so I changed that to $12,472,001.32. K." The same staff member also told the group that they had not used the preliminary figures shown elsewhere in the packet and that staff could "look at this and see if there's some stuff we can cut."
Earlier in the discussion the staff member asked a procedural question about how a line was being calculated: "This is calculated by that rate or 33. Is this number calculated down the" — a fragment that indicated staff were still verifying calculation methods.
This was discussion only; no motion or vote on the budget figures was recorded in the provided transcript excerpts, and no formal direction or deadline was specified for follow-up work.
