Administration outlines schedule-a-1 budget adjustments including FAA match and radio funding
Summary
City administration presented proposed schedule-a-1 adjustments for the tentative budget that include a $32,000 city match for an airport baggage carousel grant, payments tied to a New Markets Tax Credit structure, and a $41,000 transfer to finish public-safety radio replacement.
At the June 3 work session staff outlined a set of schedule-a-1 adjustments to the tentative budget that administrators plan to bring to the council for final consideration.
Justin, a staff member, described multiple line-item adjustments. Notable changes included a $32,000 local match to an airport baggage carousel project; the total carousel cost is roughly $315,000, and staff said the Federal Aviation Administration would cover about 90% of the eligible costs. Administration proposed covering the city match by reducing general-fund contingency and transferring the funds to the airport fund.
Staff also identified a $41,000 need in the Fleet & Facilities fund to finish a public-safety radio replacement. Administration said about $152,000 of ARPA funds had already been applied, leaving an approximate $41,000 shortfall; the proposal is to transfer contingency to cover that amount.
Other adjustments include recognizing scheduled payments to the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) special-purpose entity (an annual amount staff cited as $104,004.75) and a $100,000 increase in HOME program match funding required after a waiver change; staff proposed moving that added match from the housing budget into the grants fund.
Staff said the utility refuse and storm funds contained an accounting swap to correct an earlier line-item placement in the notice (no net budget change). The presentation also included routine true-ups of grant-related budgets to align with final HUD annual action-plan numbers.
Council members asked questions about funding sources and whether contingency transfers were appropriate. No formal votes occurred; staff said they would produce an updated schedule-a-1 document for the council's review that reflects the changes discussed.
