Council approves routine transfer of appropriations; no new funding added
Summary
Resolution 22-2025 reallocates existing budget lines to cover projected overspending in some areas and underspending in others; city staff said the action moves funds within the adopted budget and does not add new appropriations.
Worthington City Council on May 19 adopted Resolution 22-2025 to transfer appropriations within the city's adopted budget.
City staff explained the transfers move money from lines with available balances into lines that are projected to exceed their budgets. "There is no additional appropriation. So no new funding is going into the budget. Just this is simply reallocating funds across the detailed line items in the budget," Ms. Stewart told the council.
Why it matters: transfers keep departmental operations funded without changing total city spending. The item passed by voice vote after the council clarified a brief procedural oversight in the earlier voice-vote sequence.
Key details: staff said detailed purposes and line-item information were included in the agenda packet; no additional appropriations were requested. During the meeting a roll-call omission on an earlier vote was corrected and the transfer resolution was subsequently adopted.
Decision: Council adopted Resolution 22-2025; staff will implement the line-item transfers as described in the packet.
