The City of Albany's Boards of Estimate and Apportionment & Contract and Supply convened on September 5, 2025, to address several budget transfer requests and appropriations. The meeting focused on reallocating funds within various departments to ensure proper financial management and coverage of planned expenses.

The first item on the agenda was a budget transfer request from the police department, seeking $5,000 to be moved from the detective division's community response supplies materials line to the other equipment line. This adjustment aims to align funds with planned purchases.

Next, the community view board requested $25,000, transferring funds from the salons line to the contracted services line to cover non-personnel expenses. The Department of General Services (DGS) presented multiple requests, including a $15,000 transfer from the landfill waste disposal post project line to the supplies and materials line, and another $20,000 from the fleet maintenance gasoline line to the contracted services line, both intended to correct general ledger accounts for expenses.

Further requests from DGS included $22,000 from the waste collection and recycling private services line to the equipment line, and $5,000 from the engineering central maintenance contracted services line to the general services line, both for similar purposes of reallocating funds to appropriate accounts. Additionally, DGS requested $15,000 from the landfill waste disposal post COVID care line to the equipment line for new purchases.

The human resources department also submitted a request for $1,000, moving funds from the personnel training fund line to the office equipment line to cover equipment purchases. Lastly, the cultural affairs department requested $1,100 from their office equipment line to the Tulip Festival line to settle final invoices for the event.

In terms of increased appropriations, the meeting recognized $300,000 in revenue and expenses for the water department, specifically for reimbursement from the Albany Water Purification District related to the Beavercreek Clean Groover project.

The meeting concluded without further questions or concerns, marking a structured session focused on financial adjustments to support the city's operational needs.
