Chesapeake Beach council introduces four budget‑reconciliation ordinances, schedules Oct. 16 public hearings
Summary
Council introduced four ordinances to amend FY2024‑25 budgets for the general fund, utility fund, water reclamation plant fund and the water park fund; public hearings were set for Oct. 16 at 6:15 p.m.
At its Sept. 18 meeting the Chesapeake Beach Town Council introduced four budget‑reconciliation ordinances to "reconcile expenses and ratify over expenditures" for fiscal year 2024‑25.
The four ordinances introduced were:
• O‑25‑13: Amending the annual budget of the General Fund to reconcile expenses and ratify over‑expenditures for FY 07/01/2024–06/30/2025.
• O‑25‑14: Amending the annual budget of the Utility Fund to reconcile expenses and ratify over‑expenditures for the same fiscal year.
• O‑25‑15: Amending the annual budget for the Water Reclamation Treatment Plant Fund to reconcile expenses and ratify over‑expenditures.
• O‑25‑16: Amending the annual budget for the Water Park Fund to reconcile expenses and ratify over‑expenditures.
The mayor announced that the council set a public hearing on all four ordinances for 6:15 p.m. on Oct. 16, immediately before the regular Town Council meeting. No vote to adopt the measures occurred at the Sept. 18 meeting; the items were introduced and scheduled for hearing.
Why it matters: the ordinances are procedural adjustments to close out the prior fiscal year by formally recognizing expenditures that exceeded the originally adopted FY2024‑25 budgets and to align fund accounting before audit closeout. The council did not provide line‑item amounts in the meeting summary; the ordinances themselves will be posted with the agenda for the Oct. 16 hearing.
