Gallatin committee approves year-end budget cleanup ordinance
Summary
The City of Gallatin Council Committee voted to approve Ordinance 02505-33 to reallocate funds and cover potential year-end overages, largely using interest earnings rather than fund balances.
The City of Gallatin Council Committee voted to approve Ordinance 02505-33 on May 27, 2025, directing staff to clean up several accounts that could exceed budgeted amounts before the fiscal year ends.
Miss Nichols, a staff member, told the committee the adjustments were intended to prevent end-of-year overages and that "for most of the funds, we were able to fund it with interest earnings instead of going into the fund balances." She asked the committee to approve the ordinance.
Committee members moved and seconded the ordinance and approved it by voice vote. No roll-call tally was taken during the meeting record provided.
The ordinance is procedural and focused on internal budget management; Nichols said the approach avoided drawing down fund balances in most cases. The committee did not debate individual line items in the record provided.
The committee moved on after the vote to the next agenda item.
