The Annapolis Finance Committee met on July 15, 2026, to review budget-to-actuals reports, discuss parking contract overruns, and recommend approval of two grant resolutions. Key topics included the timing of financial reports, cultural changes for timely data entry, and new protocols for vendor reconciliation.
7 a.m. on July 15th. At this time, I'll enter. Oh, uh Roll Call first. Alter Roman O'Neal. President. Alderman Thorpe. And I'm here. At this time, I'll entertain a motion to approve the agenda with an amendment that moves our general discussion above supplemental appropriations. So the order would be uh business and miscellaneous, general discussion, then supplemental appropriations and adjournment. Is there a motion for that? Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Thank you very much. All right. Is there a motion to approve the minutes from the last finance committee meeting? Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Beautiful. All right. So Ms. Jerry, would you prefer to give us the general finance department update before budget actuals? Do you have a preference which way we go? All right. Let's just uh start with the budget to actuals. So first of all, thank you so much for getting these to us to the whole team. And I will tell you just truthfully that I skimmed through it this morning. I have not had a chance to dig into it quite as much as I would have liked. But our goal here really is just to look through this and be able to ask you any questions, but also if there's anything off the bat that you think that you want to call our attention to, uh put the baton in your hands before we start peppering you. Good morning, everyone. Um course this is my first time uh actually looking at this report, and uh it's a wealth of information. Uh my only concern is um basically focusing on the material uh budgets. I think that is something that we probably can rearrange it to have those items discussed first. So rearrangement is important to me. Um in addition to that, I I really believe that we can probably come up with a way to uh present this in a different way. So I'm happy to have those discussions in the future, near future. Excellent. Yeah, we'll be interested to hear that. Thank you. Um so at this time I'll open it up to the committee to ask any questions, anything you wanted to go over anywhere. Uh I'm thinking mostly about specific things, but if you have general questions too, that's just fine. Either one of you guys want to go first. I will be honest that having received it last night, I have not had a chance to do more than a crucier over. So at this time I don't have any questions. Um thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um thank you uh for submitting it. And um and I uh Roger, your guidance there, Mr.
