Council asks staff to reconcile apparent budget overrun and separate software licensing costs
Summary
Council Member Don Deering flagged what appeared to be a 253% overrun on a posted budget line and asked staff to verify startup fees and the new Revize budget format; Council Member Clayton Laughter suggested breaking out recurring software-licensing costs into a separate line item.
Council Member Don Deering told the council the city's posted budget view suggested the line was '253% over the budget'—"it looks like the budget was $3000 and we spent $7500"—and asked staff to reconcile the numbers and verify startup fees shown in the Revize budget format.
Mayor Pro Tem Kerrie Longoria asked that the new Revize budget show the startup fee and cost codes clearly; Council Member Clayton Laughter recommended separating software-licensing expenses (emails, Outlook and Active Directory licensing) into their own budget line for clarity. Staff indicated they will review and report back so the council can confirm whether the figures reflect a startup charge or recurring overspend.
