Council approves consent agenda; pulled budget amendment approved after brief staff overview
Summary
Council approved the consent agenda, including a pulled item (26-0566) that staff said amends the budget to account for an economic-development agreement; the pulled item passed on council vote reported as 5–2.
The City Council approved the consent agenda and separately considered a pulled item, No. 26-0566, requiring a budget amendment related to an economic-development agreement.
A staff presenter gave a short overview: the item would amend the budget to account for an economic-development agreement associated with a previously discussed project and recommended processing that would close out an underutilized project category and move remaining allocation from the general fund. Staff said the item previously returned to the TIRS board for guidance and TIRS recommended the council adopt the amendment to close out that project category for the fiscal year.
Councilmember Cloutier moved to accept the consent agenda as presented and later moved approval for the pulled item; the consent agenda and the pulled budget amendment were approved (the pulled item was reported as passing on a roll call vote of 5–2). Council discussion noted timing and the mechanics of moving funds between project categories and the general fund.
Transcript text contains a potentially garbled dollar amount for the economic development agreement; staff did not state a clear total in the public remarks. The record shows council approved the budget amendment as described on the agenda.
