Staff told council to remove a K-9 line still present in the FY2026 draft and noted pool revenue (about $16,000 year-to-date) was not included; staff will provide an updated draft and department heads are available for questions.

During review of the fiscal year 2026 draft budget, staff pointed out several needed edits and clarifications, including removing a K-9 line that should no longer be in the police budget and adding pool revenue figures that are not currently captured. Staff said they will incorporate Doug's more up-to-date numbers and circulate a revised draft prior to the next meeting.

"K 9 on police department is still in there that we need to take out," a staff member said, and later noted, "Right now, year to date, we're at 16,000, a little over $16,000 for, entries on the pool that we've collected." The Chair asked members to contact Lindsey or department heads with any questions about the draft before the next review.
