Council defers ordinance on inter-fund budget transfers for additional staff review
Summary
Council moved to defer first reading of an ordinance on inter-fund budget transfers (Ordinance 36682) to allow staff to continue working with the administration; council discussion noted staff capacity and the item was deferred to a later June meeting.
Council considered a request to defer Ordinance 36682, a proposal regarding inter-fund budget transfers, to allow additional work with the administration and staffing capacity to be resolved. A council member moved to defer the ordinance "from June 16 to June 23." Another council member said staff capacity issues — including staff on leave — motivated the request for additional time.
The motion to defer was seconded and the council voted in favor; following the vote, the clerk recorded the item as deferred (the transcript shows the motion text and subsequent clerk announcement and contains inconsistent references to the target date; staff later noted the intention to return the item after additional revisions). Council members said they were generally supportive of more time to "wordsmith" the ordinance before bringing it back for consideration.
No ordinance text was adopted at the briefing; staff will continue to work with administration and return with a revised draft for a future meeting.
