City reports roughly $7–8 million revenue above budget in year-end amendment

Staff presented the year-end budget amendment prepared for the city audit, explaining the measure reconciles actual expenditures and revenues with the budget. Staff said the city ended the year approximately $7–8 million above the original 2025 budget, driven in part by sales tax performance that outpaced inflation.

Board members asked clarifying questions about the magnitude and percentage growth; staff confirmed the increase equates to roughly 2.5–3% growth over the original 2025 baseline. Director Adcock asked that the board receive a separate copy of the amendment and for the item to be listed separately on future materials.

"If you go to the base original budget, we were plus...that number the original number is unamended...so it's about a 7 to $8,000,000 plus of the original budget for '25," staff said.
