The council approved an amendment to the 2025 current expense budget to increase estimated revenues by $3,210,000 from gross-receipts business tax. The amendment, described as necessary "to restore and provide additional funding for various departments and agencies funded by the general fund," was presented with a contingency that it be tied to legislative items 2401607 and 2401608.

Councilman Dunne Junior moved the budget amendment; Councilwoman Rocha seconded and the motion carried. The agenda record shows two emailed public comments in opposition to the item were received and noted to the council prior to the vote.

The transcript does not include a roll-call vote or a department-by-department spending breakdown tied to the $3.21 million; the amendment was recorded as carried in the meeting transcript.

Next steps: the amendment will be reflected in the 2025 current expense budget and implemented through department allocations consistent with council direction and contingent legislative outcomes.
