Specifically, Section 7.07 of the Charter authorizes the City Council (Council) to increase expenditures generally under two circumstances: 1) when actual revenues exceed estimated revenues; and/or 2) by identifying offsetting decreases in other areas of the budget. To maintain compliance with this section of the Charter, and minimize the need for subsequent reappropriations, the Council annually adopts a revised budget in December. As part of the preparations of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), staff typically identify other areas requiring further revisions or reappropriations, which are typically presented to the Council for consideration before final preparations and acceptance of the ACFR. As part of this process, staff identified areas that require revision and are attached. The first budget amendment noted is in the General Fund and resulted from the year-end journal entry required for Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) 96 for Subscription- Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA). Another is in the Solid Waste Abatement (Recycling) Fund and resulted from additional expenditures incurred that were reimbursed by the Anoka County SCORE grant and recycling grant. Additionally, there is a budget amendment in the General Fund for forestry expenditures incurred that were reimbursed by MN DNR grants. Another is in the Building Capital Fund related to additional facility needs/repairs incurred. The final budget amendment noted is in the General Fund and resulted from open enrollment benefit elections. Financial Impact All increases to expenditure budgets are offset by either an increase to a revenue budget or a decrease to a different expenditure budget. Recommendation Staff recommend approval of Resolution No. 2026-28, Approving and Authorizing Reappropriation for Certain Funds for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2025.
