“The FY 26 budget has been posted or soft posted for use in our accounting system,” said Speaker 1, a staff member, describing how department heads can now monitor account balances in real time through the central budget module and the open finance portal. Staff said the system integrates requisitions and purchase orders with budget lines, which prevents purchases when funds are not available in the specified account.

Speaker 1 said the city will treat property tax collection as a “soft go‑live” in August to allow staff to collect taxes in the new system and become familiar with it before the larger October tax‑notice cycle. “Our property tax training in Tyler has gone incredibly well… We’re still anticipating going live with property tax in August,” Speaker 1 said. Staff said tax notices are expected to be mailed around Oct. 1 but that timing depends on county certification in other jurisdictions.

Staff described early revenue results for the fiscal year end: non‑property tax revenue averaged about 0.6% higher than the prior year, with local option sales taxes about $25,000 higher and state sales taxes about $38,000 higher than the same period last year. “We have collected 193,000 more in non property tax revenue than we had the same time last year,” Speaker 1 said.

Several operational improvements were highlighted: the cashier module now allows departments to email receipts; H and S Health and Sanitation has completed conversion to Tyler for payments and billing, which provides near‑real‑time posting to the general ledger; and requisition controls have already prevented out‑of‑budget purchases. Speaker 1 said business tax conversion remains the largest unfinished piece, with 13 planned training sessions and a likely later timeline than property tax.

On audit and fund‑balance timing, staff emphasized that the official year‑end fund‑balance figure requires accrual work and auditor adjustments and typically becomes reliable about 60 days after fiscal‑year close. “You really can’t give a June 30 number until post August 31,” Speaker 1 said. Staff reported auditors were still requesting a handful of items to finish the FY25 audit.

No formal action was required on the Tyler Munis report; council members asked clarifying questions and staff described planned next steps for training and finishing business tax conversion.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Jackson, TN July 28, 2025 Budget Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","City staff reported the FY26 budget has been posted in the accounting system, described benefits from the new Tyler Munis modules for real‑time budget monitoring and revenue posting, and outlined challenges remaining for business tax implementation and the fiscal‑year audit.","taxTitle","Jackson City, Madison County, Tennessee","taxId",5104,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6480994,"Jackson City council approves budget amendments recognizing insurance recoveries for multiple JPD vehicles",437,59000,496000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5487912-e4b56dcc2d103f63198f2ce986800b7f&start=59&end=496","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5487912-e4b56dcc2d103f63198f2ce986800b7f/thumbnail_59000.jpg","/articles/6480994/Jackson-City/Madison-County/Tennessee/Jackson-City-council-approves-budget-amendments-recognizing-insurance-recoveries-for-multiple-JPD-vehicles","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6480994-7e873327838326caac1efa51377474f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160024&Signature=D1ZYTvzFSuvR-2kUwLTMrzgRz2w0mj~MGpzu4dwOfAtZm8tMBvxDA8ipSDtXEuRusz8SRZGEYphhI89Pk9MjDPiRtiTLCtnr8j5-OtgfpEX43GzBNdalYBkYaVnDvqnOqvw6i6NKSs7VDHvlhlFquxPSrY1tci1-QDQ0drCXMbtHRlONGEHCFDW7Efp-83pMGZegb44FdvGmkobBPe5xN0oxhXO3y6hiWQyt6~CTfAA48cnqzvE1VAZfu6SIRvD2T-mo7i6S1EtZDLAnjNXswYndbSrYk1a-J9074tw~gLNUz1QEOE5hVlS-2kzvJ~hBRyEPWT7IWMg853I3t7bF0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jackson City approved three budget amendments to recognize insurance recoveries for damaged JPD vehicles, city officials said during the meeting.

The council approved a budget amendment to recognize an insurance recovery of $11,520.76 for JPD Unit 2262, which staff described as a total loss. “This is how the money gets to that expense account. Okay. And then they may purchase I mean, I don't know. They may repair a car purchase a car using that expense account,” said Speaker 1, a staff member, explaining how insurance proceeds are handled. The council passed the amendment after a motion, a second and an aye vote recorded by the chair.

Council members then approved a second amendment to recognize $17,580.23 for JPD Unit 2128 for repairs plus a $100 tow bill. Speaker 1 noted that because that recovery was substantially larger than the $11,520.76 total‑loss payment, the damaged vehicle for this claim was likely newer: “For that amount of money it was worth repairing, which would make me think this vehicle is much newer than the one that was a total loss.” The transcript records a motion, a second and the chair saying “Motion passes.”

The third amendment the council approved recognized $13,228 for JPD Unit 2272 repairs; staff noted that vehicle had been in a second accident in six months. The motion carried after a second and an aye vote.

Staff repeatedly explained that insurance recoveries are routed into an expense account that is later used to repair or replace the vehicle. “Goes to an expense account that is later used to repair or replace the car,” Speaker 2 said during discussion; Speaker 1 confirmed the same operational process.

The transcript records motions, seconds and confirmations that each motion passed; it does not name movers, seconders or record individual roll‑call votes. The amendments were described as recognizing insurance recoveries and allocating those funds to the appropriate expense accounts; there was no discussion in the transcript of changes to departmental budgets beyond those specific recognitions.

No further action was recorded on vehicle replacement policy or a vehicle‑replacement schedule during this meeting; staff did note vehicle age varied and that recent repeat accidents raise operational concerns but no formal direction or new policy was adopted on the record.","The council approved three budget amendments to recognize insurance recoveries for damaged JPD vehicles and discussed how insurance proceeds are routed to expense accounts for repair or replacement.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6480999,"Jackson City accepts AARP grant to run ADU design contest; winning plans to be pre‑approved",261,211000,472000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5487912-e4b56dcc2d103f63198f2ce986800b7f&start=211&end=472","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5487912-e4b56dcc2d103f63198f2ce986800b7f/thumbnail_211000.jpg","/articles/6480999/Jackson-City/Madison-County/Tennessee/Jackson-City-accepts-AARP-grant-to-run-ADU-design-contest-winning-plans-to-be-preapproved","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6480999-7fa7ec24735c7c4ca812dad5fae107f9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160024&Signature=MaT85tcBQgm--zZLmEwg77xAq8iXtG-AgJIBVjbf13TEif0SVSTPlwUdAFLe9v0CHXVG0iHtriZvCnz-FPY1yWX7~ZuLMtNXY0sFA2N1p6-ZNaw3Uso9lwat78jttWccByOw5MNgZcQX~pkPGlywnab2dJiYEhIvV-NJ4udQ67NQhBZrC9nQdnp~9-dGj4ZaZHPagvIyLDtj03FLwBWTXiZtaKnzm2oW6iEA0gCt1bJi9~Gxwuh8solVtoYLDjNsHtZUmTO-eCLUifSXhmuNuMUh5fPK-ksNqyrvT~5FoFbz6T7vDb7VEnGE~v8Na4LyuzBd0skKF6CF3mVbJxsVQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jackson City approved a budget amendment to accept a grant from AARP to run an accessory dwelling unit design contest and to fund prizes for winning designs, city officials said during the meeting.

City staff described the AARP program as a national effort to produce pre‑approved ADU (accessory dwelling unit) plans that make it easier for residents — including older adults — to build small, accessible units on single‑family lots. “This is something that AARP does to help — they run this program where they’re very passionate about finding ways for senior citizens to better age in place, stay in their home,” said Speaker 5, a staff member, explaining the grant’s purpose.

The nut of the program, staff said, is that the contest will produce downloadable, pre‑approved plans that homeowners can use without going through the city’s standard design review process. “The endgame of the grant is, we give out these stipends for designs, and then what we would have is pre‑approved plans for anybody who wants to build a…granny flat,” Speaker 5 said. Speaker 6 asked, “Cool. Running the contest, so what is the endgame?” and Speaker 5 reiterated that winning designs would be uploaded to the city website so “anybody in the city could use” them.

Staff emphasized that the plans will be designed to be accessible for older residents as part of AARP’s guidelines, but noted that any resident may use a winning design. “Part of the design contest requirements will be that your home will have to be accessible for senior citizens,” Speaker 5 said. The transcript does not specify the dollar amount of the AARP grant or the total prize funding; the amendment was identified only as a grant to run the contest and fund stipends.

A motion to approve the budget amendment accepting the AARP grant carried. The transcript records the motion, a second and the chair asking “All in favor say aye,” followed by “Motion passes.” The transcript does not name the mover or seconder, nor does it state a vote tally by name.

City staff said they plan to launch the contest within a couple of weeks and that the budget amendment covers prize money only. The city will post the winning designs on its website for public download; the transcript indicates that the city will “stamp” approved plans so they do not require separate design review when used.

The budget amendment passed; staff did not provide a grant amount on the record during this meeting, and the motion did not record an itemized funding breakdown in the transcript.

For now, the next steps are launching the contest and posting the winning, pre‑approved plans online. The city did not announce a timeline for when plans would be available for download or whether additional city funding would be needed to support implementation beyond prize stipends.","Jackson City approved a budget amendment to accept an AARP grant that will fund prizes for a design contest to create pre‑approved accessory dwelling unit plans that will be posted on the city website for any resident to use.","actionData","errors"]
