Council adopts year‑end adjustments to 2025‑26 budget, authorizes minor close‑out transfers
Summary
Finance Director Ashley Horton described several line‑item changes, including $1,600 for police telephone costs and $8,000 for animal shelter enclosures. The council adopted Resolution No. 2026‑06‑03‑A and authorized the finance director to make customary minor year‑end adjustments without separate council action.
Finance Director Ashley Horton reviewed recommended adjustments to the 2025‑2026 budget, citing an additional $1,600 needed for Police Department telephone costs tied to the new building and $8,000 from the animal shelter donation fund to install new enclosures. Horton also described minor reallocations among salary and benefit lines in the animal control budget to reflect actual spending.
Horton requested authority to make customary minor year‑end adjustments to eliminate negative line items without seeking separate council action for each change. Council Member David Harris moved to approve Resolution No. 2026‑06‑03‑A, which included authorization for Horton to make last‑minute year‑end adjustments; Council Member Jacob Miner seconded. The council conducted a roll call vote: Harris Yes; Ley Yes; Trower Absent; Miner Yes; Mayor Pro‑Tem Shawn Stoor Yes. The resolution passed.
The adopted resolution allows staff to reconcile small negative line items before fiscal year close; Horton said she would verify whether the increased telephone costs would recur in next year's budget projections.
