Additional appropriation 15-2025. 3:29 Madame Deputy Clerk, an additional appropriation for the city of Marian Transportation Department. We need to address an issue with the transportation budget for account 2418. 3:40 The 2022 audit report required that the transportation have its own dedicated fund. However, by late 2023, the 2024 budget had already been completed and 3:49 submitted to the council. As a result, no city funds were appropriated for the matching portion in either 23 2023 or 3:56 2024. To rectify this oversight, we're requesting an additional appropriation to correct these past years. The total city portion was $638,658. 4:06 Speaking the controllers's office. Hi Dana. Good evening everybody. 4:12 Go ahead and give us the explanation for this. I'm very familiar with it since I sat in on the state board of accounts on 4:19 this, but you can go ahead and explain it to the rest of the council. 4:23 Yeah.

We uh it hadn't been covered in 2023 2024. 25 and 4:38 26 is in the budget. So from this point on we're going to be okay but we have to back up and um do our portion of 638,658. 4:50 And Dana, this is uh to match the the grant that we got for the transportation department. Correct. That's correct. 4:57 And the state board of accounts requires us to specifically line item our match on that. Yes. 5:03 And that's what that's what we corrected. Yes. Thank you very much.
