Summary

Finance staff recommended amending the Meridian Center fund after an increase in beginning cash balance; the commission approved the budget amendment and authorized notice for a public hearing set for Dec. 9 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall.

City finance staff asked the commission to approve a 2025 budget amendment for the Meridian Center fund and to publish notice for a public hearing.

The presenter stated the Meridian Center’s beginning cash balance increased from $12,972 (adopted budget) to $53,641, an additional $40,669 in unencumbered cash that would allow increased spending authority for 2025. The presenter cited municipal authority under the statute referenced in the packet (quoted in the record as "K S A 70 nine-twenty 9 29 a") to amend budgeted funds.

The commission approved the budget amendment and the notice of public hearing, which staff scheduled for Dec. 9 at 7:00 p.m. in City Hall. The motion to approve was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.

Next steps: staff will publish the public hearing notice as required and present the budget amendment at the Dec. 9 hearing, allowing public comment before final action.
