Chair says City Council will be asked to approve additional appropriation tied to prior-year fire department work
Summary
Commissioners were told City Council will be asked to approve an additional appropriation ordinance after the fire department’s 2025 request was processed against the 2026 budget; the chair described the item as a technical correction to align appropriations with expenditures.
Chair (S1) told commissioners to expect a request at tonight’s City Council meeting for an additional appropriation ordinance. She explained that funds were budgeted in 2025 for a fire-department item but the payment was processed from the 2026 budget, requiring council action to correct appropriations.
The chair characterized the step as a procedural alignment rather than a funding shortfall: “It’s kind of why I think Lori’s been more clear on on some of these extensions that's gotta happen this year... It's just a technical thing that we have to do, to make sure that we're appropriated our budget. We have the money.” The commission was also told staff will circulate a spending-plan/budget document for members’ review ahead of council action.
