Council to adopt reclassification of 2025–26 capital items; no net increase in spending
Summary
Councilman Peter J. Winzig said the finance department requested a reclassification of a set of 2025 projects into the 2026 budget (infrastructure and sewer projects and municipal improvements) to improve tracking — he emphasized there is no net change to total appropriations and that the item was brought to adoption that evening.
Councilman Peter J. Winzig told council that the finance director and staff sought to reclassify several capital projects from 2025 into the 2026 budget to better align infrastructure and sewer projects and separate municipal improvements for clearer tracking. "We had referred this appropriation a while back ... a couple of them were under general capital," Winzig said, explaining the change is a reallocation and not an increase to the city's overall capital budget.
Members discussed that the move allows the city to track projects independently within the capital improvements program and keep clearer accounting. Council indicated the ordinance had been reviewed in committee and was up for adoption that night. The council voted to adopt the reclassification; no change in the total appropriation was announced at the meeting.
