The Fulton City Council approved the city’s financial statement after a presentation by Dustin Doherty, chief financial officer for the City of Fulton. Doherty reported year‑to‑date sales and use tax collections and noted several projects moving toward bid or in progress.

Doherty said the city’s five‑month sales tax collections for February 2025 were up 0.7% from February 2024 and use tax was up 27.3%. He also said a demolition project had started later than anticipated, shifting more costs into the current fiscal year and likely requiring a budget amendment. Doherty said he would follow up with additional details.

Council members asked for clarification about ventilation projects and whether contractors had been paid. Doherty said he would check payment records and answer how many units remain; another staff member (Daryl) was asked to check project status and report back.

The council handled the financial statement approval by motion and voice vote; members said they would consider a formal budget amendment to cover the demolition work if needed. No dollar totals for the demolition or specific remaining ventilation units were provided in the meeting transcript.

No changes to tax rates or staffing were proposed during the discussion; staff urged that specific follow‑up (payments and unit counts) would be provided to council members.
