Wendell adopts third budget amendment for fiscal 2025, funds public works bucket truck amid stronger‑than‑expected sales tax
Summary
The Board adopted Amendment No. 3 to the FY2025 budget to recognize higher revenue performance and to fund several line items including a public works bucket truck order carried from prior year.
The Board of Commissioners adopted Budget Ordinance Amendment No. 3 for fiscal year 2025 after staff said revenues are performing above expectations, primarily driven by sales‑tax receipts.
Finance staff and the town manager reported the amendment is part of regular accounting practice to keep revenue and expenditure accounts up to date. A notable budget action in the amendment is funding for a public works bucket truck that had been ordered in the prior fiscal year but not delivered; the purchase accounting was carried into the current amendment so the town can take delivery if the unit becomes available. Staff said sales tax revenues and population growth are outperforming statewide trends for the town and that the improved revenue picture allowed the board to consider these adjustments.
Commissioners had no substantive discussion; a motion to adopt Amendment No. 3 passed by voice vote. Staff said regular amendments are best practice to keep the accounts current and that they will answer additional questions as needed.
