Story County amends FY26 budget; supervisors approve appropriation changes
Summary
The Board approved Resolution 26-15 to amend the FY26 budget and Resolution 26-16 to appropriate the amended amounts. Revenues increased about $1.8 million and expenses about $5.1 million, largely due to conservation grant carryforwards, ARPA spending, and secondary roads construction carryforwards.
The Story County Board of Supervisors approved two fiscal items on Aug. 19: Resolution 26-15, a FY26 budget amendment, and Resolution 26-16, the corresponding appropriation of the amended amounts.
A staff presenter summarized that total revenues would increase by about $1,800,000 from the original budget (roughly a 3% increase), while total expenses would increase by about $5,100,000 (about 7.7%). The presenter said the revenue increase is “mainly…conservation grants carried forward,” and that expense increases reflect a number of carryforward items: conservation grants of approximately $1,300,000, secondary roads construction and building carryforwards (including an $800,000 construction carryforward and a $300,000 building item referenced), and approximately $1,800,000 of ARPA-funded expenses carried forward. The presenter also said county general and supplemental ending fund balances would be about 27% after the amendment, roughly 2.5 percentage points higher than the original budget, and that the secondary roads fund would be about 41%.
The board opened and closed a required public hearing on the budget amendment with no public comment. Supervisors voted to adopt the amendment and then to appropriate the amended funds by voice vote.
Direct quote from staff: “Overall, the revenues are increasing, 1,800,000.0, from the original budget, and that's about a 3% increase,” the presenter said. The board’s approval implements the carryforwards and appropriation changes described at the meeting.
No member proposed amendments during the meeting. The actions were approved by voice vote; the minutes record affirmative votes by the supervisors on both items.
