Council adopts budget amendment reclassifying Robert Bush fund to general fund
Summary
Council approved Ordinance 16-17, a budget amendment that moves the Robert Bush fund (06/10) into a general classification (01/12) to prevent a fund ending the year 'in the red'; staff described amounts as roughly $10,000 and change.
The City Council voted May 27 to adopt Ordinance 16-17, a budget amendment that reclassifies the Robert Bush fund (previously coded 06/10) into the general expenditures classification (01/12) after an auditor's suggestion. Officials said the change was retroactive to December 2025 and intended to prevent the fund from showing a year-end deficit.
A council speaker characterized the change as administrative and budget-neutral overall, noting that the reclassification caused an expenditure that briefly put the fund into the red and that the amendment revises the expenditure coding so the fund will not end the year negative. The speaker described the amount as "10,000 and some odd dollars" and explained the auditor had called 06/10 an "improper label" for the funds.
Council moved and seconded adoption of the amendment in a single reading and approved it by voice vote. No amendments were recorded on the council floor; members asked no substantive follow-up questions during the motion and vote.
