Council refers supplemental appropriation for 2025 crack-sealing funds to next meeting
Summary
Officials agreed to draft legislation to transfer unspent 2025 crack‑sealing funds into the 2026 program and to refer the supplemental appropriation to the next council meeting for formal action.
The committee discussed funding and scheduling for the city’s crack‑sealing program. The city engineer explained that the 2025 program was delayed when a contractor went under and that unspent funds could be moved into the 2026 budget via a supplemental appropriation so the city could ‘catch up’ missed work.
The city engineer described the proposal as a supplemental appropriation of the previously committed 2025 funds into the 2026 crack‑sealing project and said the larger 2026 bid package would still come before council for award to a contractor. “By creating a supplemental appropriation, we can add it to the 2026 budget,” the city engineer said, adding that the bid for the 2026 crack‑sealing had not yet been released and the supplemental would allow a larger, catch‑up project to go to bid.
The chair moved to refer the supplemental appropriation to the next regular council meeting. Roll call was taken and the motion carried, sending the item to the next council meeting for legislative action. Staff and the city engineer will prepare the supplemental appropriation ordinance and present a bid package for the enlarged 2026 program.
