Chair presents draft budget with $68,000 shifted to contingency

The Chair opened the workshop and presented an updated draft budget, telling council members the expenditure side "leaves us with 68,000 additional, dollars" that would go to the contingency fund. The packet includes a larger spreadsheet with highlighted changes that staff said reflect line-by-line reviews with departments.

The Chair said staff compared this draft to the past two fiscal years and to actuals from the prior year, and asked members to review items at home before finalizing: "If there's anything else that y'all would like to add to it, but I'm more than what I'm gonna plug it in." The council discussed mapping lease receipts and other revenue into the correct lines; staff noted commercial leases have already paid $92,000 so far.
