Recommended Action
Adopt the Ordinance.
Prior Board Action
The Board approves budget amendments on a quarterly basis.
The Board has taken the following prior action(s):
* On May 12, 2026, the Village Board passed ORD 26-135 (an Ordinance approving FY26 Q1 Budget Amendments).
Background
The annual budget provides an appropriation authorization on spending by account, department, and fund. While every effort is made during the budget process to forecast spending accurately, there are times when a budget amendment is needed, such as in the following circumstances:
1) Funds were not entirely spent in the preceding year due to the timing of invoicing, and it is thus necessary to shift unspent funds into the current year (a "carry-forward" budget amendment).
2) Unforeseen expenditures which were not budgeted are now needed (a "new money" amendment).
3) Funds are reallocated from one account to another account within the budget (a "reclassification" amendment).
The Village's budget amendment process is contemplated by Chapter 2, Article 6, Section 5 of the Village code.
