Council Liveblog - Fiscal Measures Pass with Little Comment.

The Fredericksburg City Council held a public hearing on two budget measures which would carry some leftover funds from last year into this year. 

One of the budget proposals calls for re-appropriating what are called encumbrances; fiscal commitments for as yet unperformed contracts or services. City staff is recommending that council re-appropriate more than $345,777 to projects which have not yet been carried out. 

The other budget proposal calls for nearly $2.7 million in carryovers from last fiscal year into the current fiscal year.  The carryover resolution appropriates balances on city projects where no purchase order exists, but work still remains. 

No members of the public spoke to the measures, and both passed unanimously on motions offered by Councilor George Solley.
