Finance director, public works update council on March finances and capital projects
Summary
City finance and public works staff reported the March budget-to-date figures (general fund positive, some enterprise timing items) and provided status updates on capital projects including pool renovations, lift station work, police department construction and event center repairs.
City staff presented the city’s financial summary through March and a progress update on capital improvement projects at the Floresville City Council meeting.
The finance director explained the packet columns: original budgets, revenues collected through March, expenses through March and the resulting fund balance by fund. Staff reported the general fund as positive $234,990 through March. Debt service showed a timing‑related surplus because major payments are due later in the year. Enterprise funds collectively were reported as positive $632,631 through March, while wastewater showed a paper negative of about $135,612 tied to the timing of a planned equipment purchase the city expects to cover from reserves.
On capital projects, staff reported several completed items (city pool renovations; collection system rehab; event center parking lot and HVAC/control work; sports complex ADA repairs) and ongoing items. The 97 lift station is in contractor processing and is expected to take six to nine months for construction depending on materials, with approximate completion in late 2025 or early 2026. Water site SCADA work awaits antenna delivery expected in mid‑June.
Staff asked council for input on budget workshop scheduling as budget season approaches. The finance director proposed flexible scheduling (daytime and evening options) to accommodate council availability.
No formal financial appropriations were made during the meeting; staff requested direction and scheduled follow‑up for budget workshops and continued CIP monitoring.
