City finance staff presented an ordinance to amend the adopted fiscal year 2025 budget to roll over funds for outstanding FY2024 encumbrances and unfinished capital improvement projects and to add two unbudgeted FY2025 expenses: a recently approved school resource officer and remaining expenses for Mark Butler’s memorial service.
Staff said the total rollover for encumbrances and CIP is “about $1.9” (as stated in the presentation) and that the remaining balance of approximately $9,200 for funeral-related expenses was the city’s portion after reimbursements and donations. Staff noted the city received roughly $20,000 in donations toward the funeral and $10,000 from TML; the $9,200 invoice referenced a remaining balance invoiced by the funeral home.
Council Member Jesmer moved to approve the ordinance amending the adopted budget for fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2024 and ending Sept. 30, 2025; Council Member Stevens seconded. The council approved the ordinance by voice vote (ayes; no recorded nays).
The amendment carries forward prior-year encumbrances and adjusts working capital for FY2025; staff did not present a detailed line-item breakdown during the meeting. The council did not identify additional unbudgeted items beyond the two noted at the meeting.
