Council approves clerical correction to Ordinance No. 3 appropriation amendment
Summary
The council approved a corrective submission that fixes an error in the previously approved amendment to Ordinance No. 3 for FY2025–2026; the substance of the amendment was unchanged, officials said.
The New Haven City Council approved a corrective amendment to Ordinance No. 3 (FY2025–2026 appropriation amendment) to fix an error in the ordinance language, and council members said the substance of the previously approved change remains unchanged.
A council member explained the body had earlier approved an amendment to appropriate Ordinance No. 3 and that "the actual language of the ordinance amendment included an error, and this submission makes that correction. The substance of the amendment is unchanged from the item in this body." The member urged colleagues to vote yes on the corrective submission.
The correction relates to an appropriation that the record described as assigning $8,000,000 of additional municipal grant funds to eligible capital projects and reallocating $8,000,000 in authorized general obligation bond projects; the transcript indicates the item was procedural and intended to correct wording rather than change funding decisions. The motion received affirmative responses during the roll call/voice sequence recorded in the transcript excerpt.
The transcript does not contain a printed roll-call tally in the excerpt provided but records members answering "yes" during the vote. The amendment was presented as a correction only; council members explicitly stated no substantive policy change was intended.
