Summary

Council approved an amendment to the FY2026 budget for $6,670,000 to reflect the school portion of an approximately $8.5M grant for engineering and construction work on a new high school; vote was unanimous after a public hearing with no speakers.

During the public hearing the city’s finance staff said the amendment represents the school side of a larger grant (about $8.5 million) for engineering and some construction on the new high-school project. The $6,670,000 sum records the portion of work estimated to have been done during FY2026; auditors advised staff to show revenue and expenditure both on the school side and on the city bond fund.

Council opened and closed the public hearing with no public speakers and adopted the ordinance by voice vote, 5-0. Staff said the city bond fund entries had already been recorded and this action completes the school-side accounting for the grant.
