City notes corrections to water fund entries in proposed FY 2026–27 budget
Summary
At a City Hall public hearing, a staff member said the proposed May 1, 2026–April 30, 2027 budget omitted loan-repayment line items in the water fund; staff said the payments were made and the council recorded affirmative responses to journal the correction.
A city public hearing at City Hall on the proposed annual budget for May 1, 2026–April 30, 2027 included a staff statement of correction for the water fund, and the assembled members moved to journal the correction.
A staff member presented a printed "statement of correction," saying the amended budget omitted a second loan repayment and that the omission affected disbursement totals. "So everyone should have a statement of correction that I printed off for everyone," the staff member said, and read the correction as presented in the documents.
The staff member said the omission affected the amended 2026 budget and the 2027 budget. In the transcript the correction was read as changing the 2026 disbursement estimate by 4,369,113 (as stated in the meeting materials) and altering 2027 disbursements as printed in the statement of correction. The numeric formatting of two repayment amounts in the oral statement was unclear in the transcript and is recorded in the meeting materials; the staff member said the payments themselves had already been made.
The chair invited questions or discussion; none were offered. A motion "to journal" the matter was called, and recorded responses were affirmative; the motion carried on the recorded vote. The hearing item was closed and the meeting moved on.
The city did not provide additional details in the spoken record about the specific loan or lender, or a clear, unambiguous numeric transcription of the repayment line items; those details may be in the printed statement of correction on file at City Hall.
