The Tri-Cities City Council approved two budget amendments during its July 20, 2026 meeting. The first amendment allocates $250,000 for additional police overtime to address rising emergency response times. The second amendment provides $150,000 for road repaving on East 10th Street and Main Avenue.

These changes were approved unanimously with no public comments. The council cited increasing traffic volumes and emergency calls as reasons for the funding adjustments. Councilmember Jane Doe stated, 'These amendments ensure we can maintain essential services amid growing community needs.'

The funding will be implemented starting August 1, 2026. The city's finance department will monitor usage and report back to the council by October 15, 2026.
