The Manassas Park Governing Body unanimously approved the FY2026 A2 Budget Amendment during a special meeting on June 23, 2026, at City Hall. The amendment increases the General Fund by $6,550,328 to $101,633,714, primarily driven by unanticipated land sales and proffers.
City Manager Carl Cole presented the changes. He noted the amendment exceeded the 1% threshold under state law, requiring a public hearing. Cole apologized for the timing, explaining he realized the need about 17 days prior, resulting in only five days’ notice for the hearing. “I apologize. Probably could have handled this on consent last week, but anyway, this is routine,” Cole said. He attributed the threshold breach largely to revenue from the Carondelet property sale by the former Manassas Christian School.
