City staff gives midyear budget update; council approves consent items and staff recognitions
Summary
City staff presented a midyear fiscal report noting economic uncertainty and recommended several revenue and Measure Z adjustments; council asked clarifying questions, separated one item for later review and then approved the consent calendar and staff recommendations as recorded in the minutes.
City staff presented a midyear fiscal update for FY25–26, noting uncertainty from broader economic conditions and recommending adjustments to revenues and Measure Z expenditures to keep the general fund balanced.
Sergio Aguilar (city staff) summarized first-quarter activity and said the city recorded more than $12 million in project-related funding activity in the quarter. Staff outlined recommended adjustments and interfund transfers — including a $781,563 interfund transfer to infrastructure reserves — and recommended Measure Z expense adjustments intended to keep the general fund balanced through the remainder of the fiscal year.
Councilmembers asked for clarification on a past-project accounting cleanup that affected a specific property and whether it posed a conflict for a member whose residence overlapped project boundaries; staff recommended separating that line item for later consideration. After brief questions, the council moved to call the vote on consent calendar items discussed during the meeting; the clerk called the roll and the transcript records the items as passing. The transcript does not include a complete roll-call tally in readable form or clearly identify which councilmember made the motion and second on the record.
Staff also recognized three employees of the year during the meeting and awarded brief remarks and photos; city officials praised planners, permitting and inspection staff for inspection metrics and investments that staff said supported economic development.
What happens next: Staff will follow up on the separated consent item, and interfund transfers and supplemental approvals will be processed per standard administrative steps; the transcript shows the council approved the consent calendar but does not provide line-by-line roll-call counts in the record.
