Council tables budget amendment after staff exhibit contains formatting and formula errors
Summary
Council flagged Exhibit A to Ordinance 291-25-10-13 (FY2025–26 budget amendment) for mis-labeled columns and apparent formula errors; members voted to table the ordinance until staff corrects and re-publishes the exhibit.
Council reviewed a proposed ordinance to amend the FY 2025–26 budget following a change to the tax rate. Several council members reported that Exhibit A included mis-labeled columns, references to the wrong fiscal years, and apparent formula errors, making the document unsuitable for approval in its current form. One member warned approving a misformatted exhibit could create a legal mismatch between the adopted budget and the tax rate.
After discussion, a motion to table Ordinance 291-25-10-13 passed; council asked staff (Scott and finance staff) to correct Exhibit A, verify the year labeling, and return the corrected documents for approval at the next regular meeting. Council emphasized they must avoid overspending while staff remedies the formatting and calculation issues.
