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.
