The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, allowing for its adoption after a single reading due to the emergency circumstances outlined. It is designed to ensure that the District can effectively manage its financial obligations and continue with its planned capital improvements as per the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget and Financial Plan. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon approval.
