Summary

The committee recommended approval of Resolution 25-2025-40 to carry committed appropriations totaling an estimated $191,507 into the next budget year, including $36,257 for IT projects and about $155,250 for post-employment health plan obligations.

The Finance, Budget and Personnel Committee recommended City Council approve Resolution 25-2025-40 on Dec. 16 to carry forward committed appropriations into the next fiscal year in compliance with GASB Statement 54.

Finance Director Jennifer Zelensky said the continuing-appropriations process is a two-step procedure. Exhibit A of the packet estimated $36,257 for information-technology software implementations still in process and roughly $155,250 for the post-employment health plan for individuals remaining on that plan, for a total estimated committed fund balance of $191,507.

Zelensky said the items listed will later be formally placed into the 2026 budget through the city’s regular budget process and that many projects already reside in restricted or capital project funds and do not require action beyond the standard classification. The committee moved, seconded (second by Marshall) and approved the recommendation to forward the resolution to the City Council.

The committee noted staff will return for step two to place these items into the 2026 budget where appropriate.
