  Related history

  The records I searched do not contain the August 31, 2021 meeting materials or minutes, nor a 2022 proposed budget packet showing the revisions referenced by Lori Yager. The available search results do not show a formal decision or vote related to amending the proposed 2022 budget after that meeting. The only budget-related item found was a 2026 packet listing future “CIP, ERP, and Budget Discussions,” which is not related to the 2022 proposed budget.

• Add the entire amount of $373,985 to the budget, rather than the $313,000 as previously discussed.

  What this is about
  Prior discussion apparently used a lower sheriff contract figure before the packet directed adding the full amount.

  p. 2↗Meeting City Council Work Session — Agenda Packet (2021-09-13)Add the entire amount of $373,985 to the budget, rather than the $313,000 as previously discussed.

  Related history

  The records I searched do not contain a prior discussion or decision matching this recollection about the sheriff contract budget figure changing from $313,000 to $373,985. The search results returned unrelated packet material, including subdivision conditions, cannabis interim use permit conditions, PERA pension information, and equipment specifications, but nothing addressing a sheriff contract amount, budget amendment, or prior council direction on those figures.

• Look at the 2021 Projected and add 10% to that. How close can we get to the 2021 Budget with all of these changes?

  What this is about
  The action-item sheet refers back to council direction to compare the 2022 budget against the updated 2021 projected actuals plus 10 percent.

  p. 2↗Meeting City Council Work Session — Agenda Packet (2021-09-13)Look at the 2021 Projected and add 10% to that. How close can we get to the 2021 Budget with all of these changes?

  Related history

  The records I searched do not contain a prior decision matching this recollection about using 2021 projected actuals plus 10% as a comparison point for the 2022 budget. The search results are about later budget amendments and audit/budget-to-actual information for 2025 and 2026, not the 2021 projected actuals or 2022 budget direction. So, based on these results, I cannot confirm when Council gave that direction, whether it was a formal vote, or whether it was simply budget-work-session guidance.
