A.On November 19,2024,the City Council adopted on second reading
Ordinance No.163,2024,approving the biennial budget for the years beginning on
January 1,2025,and January 1,2026.
B.The City Manager has filed with the City Clerk proposed amendments
(“Proposed 2026 Budget Amendments”)to the 2026 budget adopted by the City Council
as part of the 2025-2026 Budget (“Biennial Budget’in Ordinance No.163,2024).
C.The 2026 fiscal year budgets,fixing mill levies for property tax year 2025 to
be collected in 2026,and annual appropriations for the City’s General Improvement
District No.1 and Skyview South General Improvement District No.15 are not addressed
in this Ordinance,but will be considered by City Council in separate ordinances.
D.Article V Section 4 of the City Charter requires that,before the last day of
November of each fiscal year,the City Council shall appropriate,on a fund basis and by
individual project for capital projects and federal or state grant projects,such sums of
money as it deems necessary to defray all expenditures of the City during the ensuing
fiscal year,based upon the budget as approved by the City Council.
E.Article V,Section 5 of the City Charter provides that the annual
appropriation ordinance shall also fix the tax levy in mills upon each dollar of the assessed
valuation of all taxable real property within the City,such levy representing the amount of
taxes for City purposes necessary to provide for payment during the ensuing fiscal year
for all properly authorized expenditures to be incurred by the City,including interest and
principal of general obligation bonds.
F.Article V,Section 10 of the City Charter authorizes the City Council,upon
recommendation by the City Manager,to transfer by ordinance any unexpended and
unencumbered appropriated amount or portion thereof from one fund or capital project to
another fund or capital project,provided that the purpose for which the transferred funds
are to be expended remains unchanged,the purpose for which the funds were initially
appropriated no longer exists,or the proposed transfer is from a fund or capital project in
which the amount appropriated exceeds the amount needed to accomplish the purpose
specified in the appropriation ordinance,and the transfers in this Ordinance are being
made upon the City Manager’s recommendation for one or more of these purposes.
G.Article V.Section 11 of the City Charter provides that all appropriations
unexpended or unencumbered at the end of the fiscal year shall lapse to the applicable
general or special fund,except that City Council may designate in an ordinance
appropriating funds for capital projects and for federal,state,and private grants and
donations that such funds shall not lapse until the completion of the capital project or until
the earlier of the expiration of the federal,state,or private grant or donation or the City’s
expenditure of all funds received from such grant or donation.
H.The appropriations in the Ordinance also include appropriations as needed
to transfer monies from the dedicated funds receiving the revenues to the funds from
which those monies will be expended.
The City Council finds and determines that the adoption of this Ordinance
is necessary for the public’s health,safety,and welfare,and therefore,wishes to approve
the City Manager’s Proposed 2026 Budget Amendments,and authorize the expenditures
described in this Ordinance for the 2026 fiscal year.

determinations and findings,BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
