Budget committee recommends $500 for emergency management account; carry‑forward discussed
Summary
The committee recommended leaving the emergency management FY27 request at $500 and keeping the account as a carry‑forward, after the EMA representative said there were no known expenses requiring a $5,000 allocation.
The Budget Committee reviewed the emergency management account and recommended an FY27 request of $500, with the account to remain as a carry‑forward rather than increasing to $5,000. The Emergency Management representative explained that the account had roughly $4,000 on hand and had been used for things like search‑and‑rescue reimbursements; there were no imminent planned expenditures that would require the larger sum. "My ask was originally $500 because, the new busy request and we were not losing our carry forward," the EMA representative said.
Committee members agreed that maintaining the account as a carry‑forward made sense and recommended the $500 FY27 request; the motion passed 3‑in‑favor with one abstention. Staff noted the committee would continue to monitor needs that might require a larger carry‑forward or targeted appropriation in the future.
