Council approves FY24–25 budget amendment and year-end transfers

The council opened a public hearing on a fiscal year 25 budget amendment, heard no public testimony, and then approved two related measures to adjust the current FY24–25 budget.

The council moved to open the public hearing on the FY25 budget amendment and, after taking roll, declared the hearing open. No members of the public approached the podium during the three‑minute comment window and the council subsequently moved to close the hearing.

After the hearing, the council considered Resolution 06253569, described on the record as "the resolution amending the current budget for fiscal year 2425." A member moved to approve the resolution, it was seconded, and the council approved it by roll-call vote. The minutes and the motion record show the resolution number and stated purpose; no dollar amounts or line‑item details were read aloud in the provided segments.

The council then considered Resolution 06253570, described as approving year‑end transfers. A staff member explained these were "year‑end employee benefit transfers" and said authorization was needed "to move money within our accounts to other accounts," noting that the transfers come from the trust and agency tax‑levy revenue for employee benefits and that a list of specific transfers was available to the council. The council moved, seconded and approved Resolution 06253570 by roll call. The staff explanation referenced departmental dispersals and the trust-and-agency expense line item; the specific transfer amounts were not stated on the recorded segments.
