Council adopts 2026 budget amendment adding $35,000 for digital reader boards; Facilities Fund reserve falls below policy
Summary
Finance Director Kristen Reed presented Ordinance 2841, the first 2026 budget amendment, which added $35,000 to purchase two digital reader boards from the Street Fund and transfers across IT funds; the amendment reduces the Facilities Fund reserve below policy and was approved on second reading.
Finance Director Kristen Reed presented the second‑reading staff report for Ordinance 2841, describing the first budget amendment for 2026. She said she had made a few small changes between readings, including adding an "additional $35,000 for 2 digital reader boards," to be paid from the Street Fund, and performing an intra‑fund transfer consistent with IT‑budget allocation percentages. Reed also warned that the amendment brings Fund 35 (Facilities Fund) reserve below the city’s reserve policy.
Committee supported the amendment and a council member moved to approve Ordinance 2841 on second reading; the motion passed by voice vote. The transcript records the amendment and the committee’s favorable recommendation but does not include a roll‑call tally or details of any mitigation for the Facilities Fund reserve shortfall.
