Orange Village receives March–April financial reports; council schedules budget amendment vote
Summary
Council reviewed treasurer and tax administrator reports showing year‑to‑date revenues above last year and discussed a budget amendment that includes several line-item adjustments and $175,000 for a land purchase; council will vote on the amendment at a future meeting.
Orange Village Council reviewed the treasurer’s and tax administrator’s reports for March and April 2025 at its June 11 meeting and discussed an accompanying budget amendment that will return for final vote at a later meeting.
Treasurer remarks summarized account balances: the cash account summary for March showed total cash across funds of about $20.4 million, with March revenues of about $4.0 million and March expenditures of about $784,000. For April 30, the combined cash balance was about $18.1 million; April revenues were roughly $907,000 and April expenditures about $3.22 million. The treasurer noted timing effects, including distribution of Pinecrest TIF revenue and an annual insurance premium affecting year-to-date percentages.
The tax administrator reported gross tax collections of $461,753 for March (about $38,000 higher than March 2024) and almost $614,000 for April (about $153,000 higher than April 2024). Year-to-date collections were reported as $267,000 higher than the same point in 2024.
Council reviewed bills to be paid in June totaling $254,509.03 and additional May expenses of $561,355.79; council did not discuss objections to those payment amounts on the record. The proposed budget amendment (Ordinance 2025-19) includes multiple reallocations: modest increases in police personal services and fire other (vehicle repairs), a $175,000 increase to capital improvement fund 401 for a land purchase related to long‑range planning, and increases to capital equipment fund 402 tied to police vehicle replacement, among other adjustments. The council said it will vote on the budget amendment at a subsequent meeting and will likely suspend rules at that time.
No formal appropriations were adopted at the June 11 meeting; councilors asked few questions and deferred the ordinance vote to the next session.
