REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Travis Hopkins, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Zack Zithisakthanakul, Acting Chief Financial Officer
Subject:
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Mid-Year Budget Adjustments & 2' Quarter Forecast
Statement of Issue:
The Finance Department has prepared a mid-year budget review for the fiscal year that began on
July 1, 2025. In interfacing with operating departments, budgetary requests have been assessed
across all City departments, and certain adjustments are being recommended based on available
resources in respective funds. The proposed adjustments of$1 ,470,993 across multiple funds
address operational needs, infrastructure requirements, and grant-supported programs while
maintaining fiscal stability and uninterrupted service delivery.
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Mid-Year Adjustments
Approval of the proposed mid-year adjustments will appropriate a total of$1,470,993 across multiple
funds. The Infrastructure Fund adjustments totaling $530,000 will be funded through available
Infrastructure Fund fund balance. These requests address needs that were not originally
programmed as part of the adopted Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget. These requests are one-time in
nature and do not create ongoing structural commitments beyond the current fiscal year.
The $499,000 in Grant Fund appropriations are fully supported by external grant revenues and
therefore do not impact City fund balance. The $441 ,993 in Special Revenue Fund adjustments are
funded by restricted revenues designated for their intended purposes.
Recommended Action:
Approve mid-year budget adjustments to the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Revised Budget in the funds and by
the amounts contained in Attachment 1.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action(s) and direct staff accordingly.

File #: 26-147 MEETING DATE: 3/3/2026
Analysis:
The purpose of this item is to present the City's mid-year budget request and provide an updated
financial outlook based on second quarter actual performance. Mid-year adjustments are a routine
part of municipal budgeting and allow the City to address operational needs and infrastructure
priorities that arise after adoption of the annual budget. The total mid-year adjustments requested for
Fiscal Year 2025/26 amount to $1 ,470,993. Of this amount, $530,000 is attributed to the
Infrastructure Fund, $499,000 to grant funds, and $441,993 to various special revenue funds. No
General Fund appropriation increase is requested as part of this action.
The Infrastructure Fund requests total $530,000 and address infrastructure-related needs identified
during the current fiscal year. These items are necessary to preserve City facilities and public assets
and to prevent further deterioration or cost escalation. While these needs were not originally
programmed in the adopted budget, they are operationally necessary to maintain safe and functional
public facilities and infrastructure systems.
The Grant Fund request of$499,000 reflects program expenditures associated with externally funded
initiatives. These funds allow the City to implement specific programs and services in accordance
with grant requirements and timelines. Acceptance and appropriation of these funds ensures
compliance with grant conditions and allows the City to maximize available external resources.
The Special Revenue Fund adjustments totaling $441,993 relate to program-specific activities
supported by restricted funding sources. These appropriations enable departments to carry out
legally or programmatically restricted activities consistent with the purpose of each respective fund.
In conjunction with these requests, staff has prepared the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Second Quarter
General Fund forecast. The forecast incorporates year-to-date financial performance and updated
projections for the remainder of the fiscal year. Revenues are performing favorably relative to initial
assumptions, and expenditures continue to be managed carefully across departments. The updated
forecast demonstrates that the City remains in a stable financial position while addressing the needs
presented in this mid-year adjustment.
