Council approves $133,600 budget amendment to complete block-pruning tree-care program; Watson votes no
Summary
Council approved a FY2025 budget amendment to allocate $133,600 in unused FY2024 funds to finish cycle 1 of the city's block-pruning tree-care program. The measure passed 3–1 with Council Member Watson in opposition.
The City Council on Jan. 7 approved a fiscal year 2025 budget amendment to move $133,600 of unspent fiscal year 2024 funds into FY2025 to complete cycle 1 of the city’s block-pruning tree-care program.
Parks/forestry staff explained the original contract and procurement timing delayed work that had been budgeted in 2024, leaving the remaining funds unspent at year-end. The amendment shifts those funds into FY2025 to complete the pruning cycle. The council approved the request by roll call; the motion passed 3–1 with Council Member Watson voting against the budget amendment.
