Summary

The council approved a new two-year budget for 05/01/2025–04/30/2027 and adopted the annual budget for 05/01/2026–04/30/2027 after roll-call votes; both measures passed with motions and seconds and were recorded by roll call.

The council voted to adopt a new two-year budget covering 05/01/2025 through 04/30/2027 and separately approved the annual budget for 05/01/2026 through 04/30/2027 during its regular meeting.

The budgets were presented as consideration items on the agenda; a motion to adopt the two-year budget was made and seconded, members were polled by roll call and the motion was approved. A separate motion to adopt the annual 2026–2027 budget followed and was likewise seconded and approved during roll call.

The meeting packet included budget documents and staff answered no substantive questions on the floor before the votes. The record shows the council handled the measures as routine fiscal items and approved both budgets by roll call; the transcript does not contain detailed line-item debate or a recorded tally of individual yes/no votes beyond the roll-call confirmations recorded in the meeting.

Next steps: the approved budgets will be enacted per the fiscal periods cited on the agenda and any follow-up publication or implementation steps will be handled by city staff.
