Kingsburg finance committee recommends year-end budget amendments for FY2025
Summary
The Kingsburg Finance Committee reviewed a package of 92 year-end budget amendments for fiscal year 2025 — 46 expenditure adjustments and 46 revenue adjustments — and voted to recommend the changes to the City Council.
The Kingsburg Finance Committee on Oct. 6 reviewed a year-end budget amendment package for fiscal year 2025 and voted to recommend the adjustments to the City Council.
The committee heard from member Alma Kalato, who said the amendment packet contains “92 amendments attached, 46 for expenditures and 46 for revenues.” The adjustments reflect actual spending and revenue activity that differed from the original FY2025 budget, staff said.
The amendments include a mix of timing and unanticipated costs. Committee discussion and staff remarks cited new projects such as business park signage, unplanned payments related to a fire engine, capital outlay tied to Fourth of July activities, a kitchen remodel at the senior center, and grants tied to a dog park and a Clean California grant referenced in the report. Committee members and staff also noted higher-than-budgeted building permit and planning fee revenues tied to commercial and residential development.
Staff explained a cluster of impact-fee expenditure line items (numbers 27–32 in the packet) were affected by project timing: expected road work that was budgeted in FY25 was largely completed in July and posted to FY26, which is why those expenditures show as 0 in the FY25 actuals. Staff also said the city made a payment related to a fire engine in FY25 even though delivery and installation timing stretched into the next fiscal year.
The committee asked about two items labeled 44 and 45 related to the UAL (unfunded actuarial liability) fund. Staff said because general-fund revenues came in higher than budgeted, the city did not transfer funds from the UAL fund at year end and will keep the balance available for future payments as needed under policy.
The committee moved and seconded a recommendation that the City Council adopt the proposed year-end amendments; the motion passed on a voice vote. The item will be forwarded to the council for final action.
Attendance and engagement: the discussion lasted several minutes and involved multiple committee members and staff; no public commenters spoke on the item during the meeting.
