Council approves $705,142 in fiscal year 2026 budget adjustments; Water Fund transfer proposed
Summary
Roosevelt City authorized roughly $705,142 in mid‑year budget changes covering infrastructure repairs, a dump truck, vehicle cameras and other capital needs, with staff recommending source funds be transferred from the Water Fund.
Roosevelt City Council approved a set of fiscal year 2026 budget amendments that cover a mix of revenue transfers, capital purchases and project budget changes totaling $705,141.88.
Finance staff presented the package during a public hearing. Zeke (city finance) summarized available cash in the city's PTIF accounts and said the Water Fund holds the majority of liquid funds. "Currently, right now, we have $17,262,016 in the pool, PTIF account," the city finance presenter said, and recommended using Water Fund balances to help cover the requested adjustments.
The budget adjustments included: - Arts/parks revenue reallocation: $18,556.88 from fundraising to expense lines. - Sand wash pipeline/protection (public works): $291,000 from fund balance for a pipeline protection project discussed previously. - Public works capital: one-time dump truck with plow, $125,000 from fund balance; staff said the truck will be bid and returned to council for final purchase approval. - Planning and zoning: $150,000 for a Johnson buyout contract. - Recreation/golf fundraiser transfers: $2,980 and $8,000 moved to expense accounts for future events. - Admin capital: $35,000 for vehicle cameras (fleet monitoring system), $24,325 change order for roof replacement work, and $25,000 repurposed to purchase a trailer for recently acquired equipment. - Integration hub railing and Main Street building reallocation: roughly $50,000 and $50,000 reassignments for building functional upgrades and ambulance area cleanup.
City staff noted a mix of expenses would be funded from existing fund balance items or from specific fundraising revenue rather than new tax or bond authority. On the largest item, the sand wash pipeline, council members asked for continued project-level review and confirmation that contracts over council thresholds will return for separate approval; staff confirmed those bids will come back to council as required.
After a public hearing with no commenters, council voted to approve the package and staff said they would move forward to get bids and return to council where individual procurements require formal award.
Council action: motion to approve the FY26 budget adjustments totaling $705,141.88; council approved the request and staff recommended the Water Fund transfer to cover the package.
