Tooele City Council approves FY2026 budget amendments to carry over projects, add grants and fund new well
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-79 on Sept. 17 to carry forward uncompleted FY2025 projects, allocate grant and donation revenue for museum and park work, fund a part-time HR position and budget $1.7 million for a new Rogers Road well.
The Tooele City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-79 on Sept. 17, 2025, adopting budget amendments for fiscal year 2026 to carry forward unfinished projects, recognize new grant and donation revenues, and budget for a new culinary well.
Finance Director Shannon Wimmer presented the amendments during a public hearing portion of the meeting and described the largest changes: carrying forward funds for projects that were budgeted in fiscal year 2025 but not completed by June 30, 2025 (including the Cemetery Road project and demolition of a city-owned cemetery house); allocating Rio Tinto donations for museum work; applying additional grant funds for the drug task force; adding $16,500 for a part-time position in human resources; authorizing $1,000 of sponsorship funds to have one of the donated buffalo statues painted; $1,500 from the state for an America250 Utah program event; a $7,500 transfer to finish golf-course netting; park impact fees to complete restrooms at Veterans Park and Glen Eagles; a $4,000 upgrade to the city’s time clock system; and budgeting $1,700,000 for a new well on Rogers Road now that the test well is complete.
Wimmer opened the item for public comment; no members of the public addressed the council on the amendments. Councilwoman Manzione moved to approve Resolution 2025-79; Councilman McCall seconded. The council voted aye (Councilman McCall, Councilman Hansen, Councilwoman Gochis, Councilwoman Manzione and Councilman Brady), and the motion passed 5–0.
The budget amendments were presented as routine carryovers and project-specific adjustments. Wimmer said the Rio Tinto museum donation totaled $74,000 to date and that the headworks building payments and other capital projects required remaining budget authority to finish work already underway. The amendments include both restricted project revenues (grants, donations and park-impact fees) and internal transfers to complete in-progress capital work.
