Discuss and act on ORDINANCE NO. 2026-017: An Ordinance amending the FY 2025- 26 budget. Finance Director Steve Mariott explained a mid -year amendment was needed due to old and new budget software being used and as a result numerous items were omitted from the budget. In addition, he said there were new budget items that needed to be in the budget. He said amendments were needed for the General Fund, Water Fund, Airport Fund, Grant Fund and Auto Theft Program Fund.
