Council hears first reading on 2025–26 budget amendment; public hearing receives no comments
Summary
City staff presented Ordinance 2025-22, a first-reading budget amendment for fiscal year 2025–26 that lists grant-funded purchases and equipment allocations (including firefighter equipment); staff and council recorded no public comments during the hearing.
At the Dec. 1 meeting, staff presented Ordinance 2025-22, a first-reading ordinance to amend the City of Greenacres' budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2025, and ending Sept. 30, 2026. The presentation listed multiple line items and grant awards, including references to Lakewood Plaza, opioid-recovery funding, and a firefighter equipment grant intended to purchase protective and response equipment. One figure cited in the presentation was $252,000 noted as a general-fund amount for a specific line; several other numeric totals in the recorded presentation are unclear due to transcription errors in the public record.
The mayor opened the public hearing and asked for public comment; no members of the public rose to speak in favor or opposition. Council members thanked staff and offered "kudos" to those involved with the grant approvals. The transcript does not record a vote or final adoption for Ordinance 2025-22; it was presented on first reading and remains subject to subsequent council action.
Because several budget figures were incompletely recorded in the transcript, the article notes amounts where the record is clear and marks other figures as not specified in the public record rather than inferring values.
