Kristen Reed, the city’s finance director, presented Ordinance 2841 as the first budget amendment for 2026 and outlined two small changes made between readings. She said the amendment adds $35,000 to purchase two digital reader boards to be paid from the street fund and that the transfer was split across funds consistent with the IT budget allocation method.
