Fiscal impacts are outlined in the attached report. The citywide budget total remains unchanged within the Adopted State Expenditure Limitation.

Budget amendments requiring City Council approval are presented as necessary throughout the year. The FY2026 expenditure limitation budget was adopted on June 9, 2025, and the FY2026 Expenditures for Administrative Award was approved on May 19, 2025.

Budget transfers are permitted by Arizona Revised Statute 42-17106(B), which provides authorization for cities and towns to exceed expenditures in a budget item after final adoption of a city/town budget by transferring appropriations between budget items. All budget transfers are completed within city policy established by Resolution 2022-2256. Review of budget transfers keeps the Council and public informed about the city's current fiscal year revenues and expenditures. The Budget Amendment Report is included as Attachment A. If applicable, the revised items from the FY2026 Expenditures for Administrative Award are included in Attachment A.
