Why Action is Necessary

Budget amendments are required whenever existing revenue sources are increased or decreased, resulting in a change to the total appropriation of a fund.

 

What Action Accomplishes

The primary purpose of this budget amendment is to recognize the difference between the preliminary fund balance and the current budgeted fund balance of each fund. This budget amendment also includes a number of proposed appropriations to address issues that have arisen since the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026 budget.
