Summary

Council approved a FY2025–26 operating budget amendment to move about $840,000 from street maintenance into a transportation infrastructure capital project (G9144) to encumber funds for road resurfacing; staff confirmed a resurfacing contract around $910,000.

Finance Director Donna Goodson presented a year‑end operating budget amendment on June 16 that transfers approximately $840,000 out of the street maintenance organization into the Transportation Infrastructure Capital Project (G9144) so funds already earmarked for road work can be formally encumbered. Public Services Director Steve Miller later confirmed the resurfacing contract related to the work is approximately $910,000.

Goodson described the amendment as a routine year‑end housekeeping step to balance line items before auditors arrive. Councilmember Antonio Hardy asked about the city’s fiscal health; both Interim City Manager Ralph Clark and Director Goodson confirmed the city remains in a healthy financial position. The motion to approve the operating budget amendment carried unanimously. Separately, the Council approved closing 13 completed grants and capital projects as a formal bookkeeping step.
