Summary
The Missoula City Council unanimously approved a resolution to adopt first-quarter FY2026 budget amendments that increase revenues by $2,035,515 and appropriations by $2,913,479; the council also passed a multi-item consent agenda and confirmed three reappointments and one promotion to the Historic Preservation Commission.
The Missoula City Council on Dec. 1 unanimously approved a resolution adopting first-quarter fiscal‑year 2026 budget amendments after a brief staff presentation and a public hearing with no speakers.
Finance Director Lee Griffin told the council the quarter‑one package adjusts appropriations to reflect new revenues, carry‑forwards and timing changes. Griffin said the amendments increase total city revenues by $2,035,515 and raise budgeted appropriations by $2,913,479; an exhibit attached to the agenda enumerates the specific line‑item adjustments and transfers.
