Council hears positive sales-tax update; motion to adopt Budget Amendment No. 1 fails
Summary
Council received a favorable sales-tax revenue update and considered an ordinance to adopt Budget Amendment No. 1 for fiscal year 02/2025; the motion to approve the amendment was not approved during the Aug. 6 meeting.
Staff presented a sales-tax revenue update to the Stafford City Council during the Aug. 6 meeting; the update was described as positive by staff and generated favorable feedback from council members.
Later in the meeting the council considered an ordinance to adopt Budget Amendment No. 1 for fiscal year 02/2025. The agenda identified the item as "ordinance adopting budget amendment number 1 for the fiscal year 02/2025." During discussion one speaker asked whether council needed to approve the amendment; the transcript records the statement "Motion is not approved." No mover or seconder was recorded in the transcript excerpt and no roll-call vote tally was provided.
Because the motion to adopt the ordinance was not approved as recorded in the meeting excerpt, the proposed amendment did not take effect during the Aug. 6 meeting. The sales-tax update remained informational; no additional financial actions tied to the update were recorded in the excerpt.
The sales-tax report and the failed ordinance consideration were among 33 agenda items the council addressed that night.
