Finance Committee Meeting June 18, 2026

The City of Annapolis Finance Committee convened on June 18, 2026, to review and approve various budget transfers and financial adjustments across multiple city departments. Key procurement-related discussions included fund transfers within the transportation department to cover increased costs in salaries, benefits, fuel, and vehicle maintenance, largely driven by grant revenue adjustments and market price changes. The committee also addressed budget reallocations in central services for contractual services due to unfilled positions, and in fleet operations to cover increased fuel and mechanic service costs. The Police Department requested transfers to cover contract services related to software system maintenance, visitor management systems, and ammunition replenishment. A significant discussion focused on a $492,000 overage in the Metropolis parking management contract, with city officials investigating the invoice details before finalizing payment, and the committee expressing cautious support contingent on further reconciliation. Additionally, the committee deliberated on licensing fees for rental properties, ultimately recommending approval of a $125 fee with a request for a holistic review of fee structures. The meeting concluded with updates on the finance department's transition and upcoming audit preparations. A motion to favorably recommend the fund transfer FT 1326 passed unanimously.
