Butte City finance committee approves $881,865.77 in expenditures and several budget transfers

The Butte City Finance and Budget Committee approved the expenditure list for March 25, 2026, totaling $881,865.77 and authorized several intra-departmental budget transfers during its meeting Wednesday.

A committee member moved "that we reviewed and approved the expenditure list for 03/25/2026 in the amount of $881,865.77," and the chair seconded the motion. The chair called a voice vote, members answered "Aye," and the chair declared the motion passed.

The committee also approved a set of budget transfers presented by the chair. The transfers, as stated in the meeting, include: $6,000 for truck repairs for vehicle T41 tied to NRGP grants; a transfer for Metro Sewer—initially misstated as $511,000 and then corrected in the meeting to $76,500—to cover repairs and maintenance supplies for manholes and sewer lines through June 2026; a transfer stated as 300 for the Health Department to cover fleet repairs; $10,000 in Public Works for a line sprayer used to paint curbs, parking lots, handicap spaces and crosswalks; and $3,000 in Archives to cover office supplies for the remainder of fiscal 2026.

The chair asked whether there were any questions for Director Hassler on the budget transfers; no substantive discussion of the specifics appears in the transcript. With no further business, the chair moved to adjourn, the committee voted by voice and the meeting was adjourned.

These actions were procedural approvals of internal expenditures and transfers; the committee did not record detailed roll-call vote tallies or further deliberations on the items in the provided transcript.
