Summary

Council approved an ordinance amending the FY2025–26 budget to move existing funds from Building Inspections to the IT department to pay for cybersecurity; staff said funds were available within the current budget.

Council considered and adopted an ordinance on Aug. 4 that transfers funds from the Building Inspections department to Information Technology to cover cybersecurity work. Staff told the council the money exists within current appropriations and the action simply reallocates those funds rather than increasing total spending.

The motion to approve the budget amendment passed after a brief procedural re‑vote for order. Ms. Rios read the ordinance details, and council assigned the ordinance number in the motion text. Councilmember Helm moved to approve; Councilmember Schlenzker seconded, and the motion passed.
