The attached ordinance reflects ordinances which may have been adopted relating to the budget since the last quarterly update and other proposed changes to the operating budget.
Budget Items not previously presented to the Council:
1) Appropriation of $40,000 for solar panels at the Library within the Equipment & Facilities Reserve Fund. This will be funded with a $20,000 grant from Puget Sound Energy and $20,000 from existing City funds.
2) Appropriation of $134,436 to the Fire Department for various costs in excess of original expected costs to be reimbursed by Medic 1. This is funded from reimbursements received from Medic 1 in excess of original projected reimbursements.
