Missoula council approves FY2025 fourth‑quarter budget amendments to align with audited totals

The Missoula City Council unanimously approved fourth‑quarter amendments to the fiscal 2025 budget on a voice vote, adopting a resolution that recognizes $5,813,928 in additional revenues and increases budgeted appropriations by $23,783,125 to align the adopted budget with audited year‑end results.

City staff member Lee, speaking online, told the council that “For FY '25, the resolution contains adjustments to revenues of $5,800,000 and to expenditures of approximately $23,800,000,” saying the changes reflect grant awards, carry forwards, debt service and merchant fee adjustments and that an exhibit attached to the agenda lists the specific line‑item changes.

The amendments were presented after the close of FY2025 so that the adopted appropriation will match the final audited numbers. Staff said the adjustments include routine year‑end carry forwards and other technical corrections and that the council will be briefed by the city’s audit team to the budget and finance committee later this spring.

With no public comment on the item and no council questions, Miss Savage placed the resolution on the floor and the council approved it by voice vote. The motion carried unanimously.

The adopted resolution will be incorporated into the city’s official appropriation documents and reflected in next quarter’s financial reporting.
