Council notes $731 remaining in computer/software line; discusses funding options
Summary
During the special meeting, the Clerk said the general fund line for computers and software had $731 remaining and suggested reallocation from materials and services, facilities, or contingency to cover the authorized purchase.
After approving the $2,200 expenditure, the Clerk informed the Council that only $731 remained in the general fund budget line for computers and software and outlined options to cover the shortfall. The Clerk said the Council could reallocate funds from materials and services, move funds from the facilities budget, or draw from contingency to complete the purchase.
"We only have, like, $731 left for computers and software in the general fund budget," the Clerk told members, then listed possible internal transfers to cover the $2,200 purchase. The Clerk did not record a formal vote on a specific transfer; rather, they described how staff could administratively move funds or use contingency if needed.
Council members did not ask for further detail during the special meeting; the Clerk indicated staff would handle appropriation or transfers consistent with the city’s budget rules when finalizing procurement.
