Radcliff council hears full reading of proposed $18.36 million fiscal 2025–26 budget
Summary
At a special meeting June 9, the Radcliff City Council heard a full reading of the proposed fiscal 2025–26 budget, which lists $18,361,000 in General Fund resources and matching appropriations; councilmembers did not record a final adoption vote in the transcript.
A full reading of the City of Radcliff’s proposed fiscal year 2025–26 budget was presented at a special called meeting Monday, June 9, at Radcliff City Hall.
The reading, given to the Radcliff City Council by a council member reading the ordinance language, outlined anticipated General Fund resources of $18,361,000 and matching General Fund appropriations of $18,361,000. Itemized revenue lines in the reading included a General Fund fund-balance carryover of $2,374,300; ad valorem taxes of $2,381,700; insurance premium taxes of $4,310,000; occupational fees of $5,303,500; franchise fees of $1,115,000; and other revenue categories. The reading also listed Road/LGEA resources of $500,000 and Stormwater Utility Fund resources of $1,887,300.
The reading described department-level appropriations under the General Fund, including $6,170,100 for the police department, $3,819,500 for the fire department, $1,546,200 for administration, $1,690,700 for public works, $1,514,600 for parks and recreation, and $586,800 for economic development, planning and building. Capitalized fund appropriations were listed as $3,033,100 in the General Fund, $465,000 in Road/LGEA funds and $622,600 in the Stormwater Utility Fund.
Mayor Thompson (as identified in the meeting record) and staff indicated the reading had been completed; the transcript does not record a formal vote adopting the ordinance during this session. Staff said a more detailed budget presentation and a breakdown of items would be provided at the next meeting or work session for council review.
The budget reading is part of the council’s routine ordinance process; the language read aloud declares an ordinance “adopting the City of Radcliff annual budget,” but the transcript contains no roll-call adoption for the budget ordinance itself. Council members and staff thanked department managers and each other for work on the draft budget during recent budget work sessions.
Next steps noted in the meeting: staff will provide a detailed breakdown of the proposed budget and supporting documents at a subsequent meeting so councilmembers and the public can review specific items and changes included in the draft.
Context: The reading included the full text of the ordinance and line-item totals as part of the official record. Any formal adoption, amendments, or votes on the budget ordinance were not recorded in the provided transcript.
