Summary
On second reading the council adopted the FY2025–26 budget covering the general fund and special funds and approved an amendment increasing health and dental self‑insurance fund expenditures; the record lists fund-by-fund figures and roll-call approval.
Florence City Council adopted the city’s FY2025–26 official budget on second reading during its June 10 meeting, and separately approved a budget amendment increasing expected expenditures in the health and dental self‑insurance fund.
The budget ordinance (O‑15‑20‑25) covers multiple funds, including the general fund, municipal aid road fund, infrastructure fund, asset forfeiture fund, aquatic center fund, golf course fund and water and sewer fund. In council remarks the mayor read several line items: general fund estimated revenues and transfers of $52,361,200 and an estimated beginning fund balance of $58,364,014 for a total available for appropriations of $110,725,214; total expected expenditures and transfers of $64,722,438. Municipal aid road fund receipts and balances, infrastructure fund totals, asset forfeiture projections and other fund details were listed for the record.
Council also approved Ordinance O‑14‑20‑25, an amendment to the FY2024–25 budget to reflect increases in expenditures from the health and dental self‑insurance fund for higher bank and administrative service charges and for health and dental claims. The mayor noted these items had been discussed at first reading and that this was the second reading.
Votes: Both the budget ordinance and the health/dental amendment were approved by roll call vote at the meeting; recorded votes indicated the motions passed (vote counts in the transcript recorded as affirmative by council members present). The city clerk’s office holds the full ordinance text and exhibits for inspection, including the detailed schedules and exhibit A referenced in the record.
Note on transcript anomalies: The meeting transcript contains numeric transcription anomalies (for example, an implausibly large figure recorded in one Aquatic Center line). Reporters and readers should consult the official ordinance exhibits on file with the city clerk for definitive budget tables and corrected figures.
