SECOND.

COULD HAVE DONE QUICK OVERVIEW.

SURE.

YOU CAN GIVE US QUICK OVERVIEW.

I'M GONNA RUIN MY RECORD HERE.

OH NO, THAT'S FINE.

I'M SORRY.

REAL FAST.

SO THE SECOND QUARTER BUDGET AMENDMENT ADDRESSES CHANGES FROM THE FIRST READING, FORMALIZING CHANGES PREVIOUSLY MADE BY COUNCIL ACTION, INCREASES SPECIAL REVENUE FUND EXPENSES, AND ALSO INCLUDES SOME ROLLOVERS FROM 2024 AND SOME SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS.

UH, MOST NOTABLY THERE IS A CHANGE BETWEEN THE FIRST READING AND THE CURRENT READING.

UM, SO DURING LAST WEEK AS WE WERE PUTTING THE AGENDA ITEM TOGETHER FOR THIS SECOND READING, UM, ONE OF THE DEPARTMENTS HAD AN ITEM THAT WAS ACTUALLY REDUCING THEIR BUDGET, UM, FOR 2020, UM, FIVE, UH, IT'S FOR 320,000 NEARLY.

IT'S FOR MOTOROLA RADIOS THAT WERE PURCHASED AND ORDERED IN 2024.

UM, DURING THIS LAST WEEK, WE REALIZED THAT UM, WHAT WE HAD THOUGHT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS A DUPLICATE OF AN INVOICE TURNED OUT TO BE THE FINAL PAYMENT AND THEREFORE THE BUDGET DOES NEED TO REMAIN IN 2025 IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT FINAL PAYMENT ON THOSE RADIOS.

UM, THEY WERE NOT RECEIVED UNTIL 25.

UM, AND THAT IS WHERE I THINK THE CONFUSION CAME IS THE, THE PREVIOUS INVOICE WAS THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT AND IT WAS AT THE END OF 2024.

AND THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE.
