Council adopts fiscal-year 2026 budget amendment after brief clerical explanation
Summary
Council opened and closed a public hearing on a budget amendment and adopted a clerical fiscal-year 2026 budget amendment intended to align accounting with an audit; transcript records inconsistent resolution numbering in motion language.
The council opened a public hearing on a fiscal-year 2026 budget amendment, received no public comments, then closed the hearing and approved the amendment after staff described it as a clerical adjustment tied to last year's audit. Staff stressed that the amendment moves dollars between lines rather than increasing the overall dollar amount.
"Dollars are all the same. It's just, based on the audit report that we got last year that we wanted to make sure that we're appropriately applying that principle to the current fiscal year budget, and so it required budget amendment," staff said when describing the amendment.
The transcript records the agenda item as Resolution 26-05 (fiscal-year 2026 budget amendment number 2), but during the motion a council member referenced "resolution 26 0 4" while moving approval. That numbering inconsistency is recorded here as it appears in the meeting transcript. Council proceeded with a roll-call vote and the motion carried. Staff said the change was clerical and will be reflected in the city's budget documents and online materials.
Staff will incorporate the amendment into the fiscal records and provide updated documents as part of the audit-response work.
