Carl Wilhelm, presenting the proposed FY2025–26 capital budget, told the Budget and Finance Committee on Feb. 4 that three line‑item changes were recommended after further review: the softball scoreboard sponsorship removed a $70,000 request, the Palm Ridge pool circulation pumps were deferred (about $14,135), and the committee added a manufacturer recommendation to replace 42 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) at roughly $68,000.
