SUBJECT
Presentation on Fiscal Year 2025-26 Actuals Based on Transactions Posted through October 31, 2026
RECOMMENDATION

Therefore, the proposed transfer from Information Technology Internal Service Fund can be reduced from a proposed $3,004,133 to $2,331,746 by $475,000 to achieve a balanced budget.

Staff recommends a presentation of these unaudited numbers to the City Council as an Unaudited Budget Year End Report for Fiscal Year 2025-26 that will include a summary of revenue and expenses including transfers in and out of the General Fund. While additional changes are not anticipated, changes may result through the annual aud...
