Impact Statement
Purpose of proposed legislation and background information
The Spring Supplemental Budget is primarily intended to allow City Council and bureaus to make technical adjustments and other revisions to their current year budget. In FY 2025-26, the Spring Technical Adjustment Ordinance (TAO) addresses a 17.1 million reduction to the General Fund revenue forecast through a combination of General Fund returns of underspending in bureaus and draws on contingencies and other fund balances.
Financial and budgetary impacts
Approval of this ordinance will change appropriation in 53 funds by a net increase of $171,566,396, primarily resulting from truing up beginning fund balance and other resources. There is a net decrease of $12.45 million to the General Fund. These changes are summarized in Exhibit 2. This legislation adds net zero FTE as noted in Exhibit 5.
Economic and real estate development impacts
Not applicable.
Community impacts and community involvement
The public had the opportunity to provide online testimony for several weeks leading up to a publicly-noticed hearing, where community members may also provide virtual testimony. This supplemental budget is a small part of the much larger budget process; the rest of the budget process is subject to extensive public outreach in the form of public meetings, public hearings, Council work sessions, requests and analysis provided online, and the inclusion of public budget, and the inclusion of community budget advisors.
100% renewable goal
