DATE: May 23, 2025
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Amending the Annual Budget for the Fiscal Year Beginning January 1, 2025 and Ending December 31, 2025 (Amendment #2 for the 2025 Fiscal Year)
PURPOSE:
To obtain the City Council's approval of a proposed amendment to the 2025 City Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to 65 ILCS 5/8-2-9.1 through 9.10, the City of Aurora operates under the budget system of government finance. The City Council adopted the 2025 budget on December 3, 2024 through the passage of Ordinance No. O24-079.
While the city attempts to anticipate all potential expenditures for a fiscal year when that year's budget is developed, circumstances occasionally arise that require expenditures that were not contemplated in the original financial plan. 65 ILCS 5/8-2-9.6 permits a municipality operating under the budget system to amend its annual budget by a two third's vote of its governing body
