Council accepts first reading of FY2026 budget amendment to add state grant funding for Foote Street and set aside election funds
Summary
Ordinance O-2608 was introduced for first reading to add $209,003.19 to the FY2026 general fund for economic development tied to a Foote Street grant and to establish $50,000 for special election costs; first reading only.
The council took up Ordinance O-2608 for first reading, a fiscal amendment to the FY2026 budget that would add approximately $209,003.19 in revenue and matching expenditure authority for a Foote Street project funded through a Maryland state grant and reallocate $50,000 from contingency to cover special election expenses for filling a Ward 2 vacancy.
As presented by the clerk, the ordinance amends line items in the general fund (revenue account for Foote Street grant and economic development call center) and appropriates $50,000 to the city clerk's election expense account. The reading noted the source as the Maryland Department of Human Services and Community Housing and Community Development (verbatim phrasing from the reading). The ordinance was read for first reading; council did not adopt the ordinance at tonight’s meeting and no final vote was recorded.
