Summary

Staff proposed line-item increases: $250,000 added to Public Works construction for a stormwater-design contingency, $130,000 for janitorial contracts across city facilities, $45,000 for clerk digitizing and $50,000 for digitizing building plans; commissioners approved these in the FY25 budget.

During the budget presentation, the CFO and manager highlighted capital and operational changes: a $250,000 contingency in public works for an in-design stormwater project, an estimated $130,000 allocation to cover rising janitorial costs across city facilities, and stepped-up digitizing efforts with $45,000 for the clerk's office and $50,000 for the building department to convert large-format plans.

CFO (presenting): "We increased that division by 250,000 for a stormwater project that we're currently in design...we increased just to make sure we have $130,000 allocated for next fiscal year to cover the janitorial services of not just city hall and police but every city facility...we're increasing the building department specifically $50,000 for digitizing of those plans." The commission accepted these adjustments as part of the adopted FY25 budget.
