Title
Resolution to Amend FY26 Council Approved Budget and Appropriate the Increased Allocation from the Virginia Department of Transportation for Fiscal Year 2026 Urban Maintenance Program
Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
The City Charter gives City Council the authority to approve supplemental appropriations for unanticipated state and federal revenues. This resolution accepts and appropriates additional revenue anticipated to be received from the Commonwealth in the amount of $699,621.60 for the City’s FY2026 VDOT Urban Maintenance Program which funds maintenance for eligible roadway maintenance activities. The additional revenue is greater than that which was anticipated and budgeted in the Council Approved FY2026 budget.

If available from surplus from previous year’s operations or from planned fund balance in the current budget as adopted, the council by resolution may make appropriations for the year not to exceed the amount of such balance. Supplemental appropriations may also be made by council by resolution not to exceed the unanticipated revenue from the Commonwealth or federal sources where council has previously or currently approved the city’s participation in such programs.
