FY 2026 budget amendment
Summary
The city has to formally reappropriate about $6.2 million in leftover federal ARPA money for projects like the fire rescue ambulance, canal restoration, storm drainage, and a generator for the teen center. State law gives only 60 days after the fiscal year ends to do it, so first reading is Tuesday.
