Fruit Heights adopts tentative FY2025–26 budget, sets aside $250,000 for parks and road projects
Summary
The Fruit Heights City Council approved Resolution 2025-05 to adopt a tentative budget for fiscal year 2025–26, preserving dedicated transportation-fee revenue for road work, adding $250,000 for park improvements, and adjusting a revenue line after a $14,000 calculation correction.
The Fruit Heights City Council on May 14 adopted Resolution 2025-05, approving a tentative city budget for fiscal year 2025–26 and directing funds to capital projects, parks and vehicle replacements.
Council members and staff said overall revenues are tracking near projections and the budget keeps a transportation-fee fund dedicated to road work. Council approved an adjustment after staff discovered a $14,000 shortfall in one revenue line and increased that line from $336,000 to $350,000 to restore the planned fund balance.
The adopted tentative budget includes a new capital-projects line funded by the monthly transportation fee on utility bills; council discussion and staff notes say that money has been saved for road projects in prior years and is earmarked for local street work. The capital projects section also shows $250,000 set aside for park improvements and funding to support a waterfront extension project in the Rockloch area; staff said part of the waterfront work is impact-fee eligible and will be paid for in part from impact fees.
Council members and staff also discussed vehicle and equipment capital needs: the city plans to place orders for trucks within weeks to meet mid-year delivery timing, and carry over equipment purchases including a skid-steer mower attachment and other public-works implements. Staff reported one new truck is currently at the Viking dealership awaiting outfitting.
During the public hearing staff reviewed the budget summary and explained what each fund covers and how revenues and expenditures were projected. The council approved the resolution by formal motion and roll-call vote.
The tentative budget adoption sets spending priorities ahead of the final budget adoption later in the process; staff and council said they will publish supporting budget documents that describe individual line items and project scopes.
Meeting notes: the budget adjustment, capital projects allocations and equipment purchases were discussed during the public hearing and subsequent council deliberations; council approved the tentative budget by motion.
