Council hears staff report on FY2025 budget amendments; minor line‑item adjustments explained
Summary
Finance staff told council of small FY2025 adjustments: a $6,589 increase to cover credit‑card fees, a transfer to centralize printing equipment expenses and interdepartmental transfers (about $85,146) to cover departmental overspends; no final adoption was recorded in the session.
City finance staff presented details of proposed FY2025 budget amendments intended to preserve adopted appropriations. The adjustments described in the work session included a $6,589 increase to cover actual credit‑card processing fees incurred on behalf of customers, centralization of certain printing equipment supplies into the IT budget, and interdepartmental transfers totaling roughly $85,146 from Public Works to Parks to reflect where costs were incurred.
Staff explained the changes are bookkeeping and appropriations adjustments to align actual expenditures with adopted budgets; staff emphasized these are internal transfers and adjustments to maintain FY25 appropriations rather than new program funding. The finance director (Mister Robinson) was noted absent for a medical appointment.
Council asked clarifying questions about where capital and operating costs sit (stormwater vs. capital), and staff provided context on larger budget figures for categories such as solid waste and overall operating budgets. No recorded final vote to adopt the amendments took place in the recorded portion of the session.
Next steps: staff will prepare the formal authorization and documentation for the finance director to execute necessary amendments to maintain FY25 adopted appropriations.
