City Council ratified the treasurer's adjustment to roll forward an unspent pavement-marking allocation of $68,520.94 and approved a $60,000 purchase for a Department of Public Works truck that was ordered in FY25 but not yet delivered.
Treasurer Mary Markowski told the council the pavement-marking allocation had been budgeted in FY24, rolled to FY25, and only $43,000 was spent by the end of the year; she had removed the restriction so funds would be accurate for FY26 calculations. "So when we got when I get to the end of this year, we only spent 43,000... So I removed that. It was $68,520.94," Markowski said.
Alderman Davis and other members noted the truck had been approved in the budget and was a timing issue because delivery had not occurred; the council moved to keep the $60,000 in the FY26 budget to cover the purchase. The motion to approve the vehicle purchase passed by roll call, 9–0. Council members clarified that the capital-reserve and FY26 budget would still include funds for pavement-marking and that the action did not zero out ongoing DPW budgets.
The council suspended rules to take the votes and directed the treasurer and DPW to record the vehicle once delivered and to reflect the rollover in FY26 capital reports.
