Pleasant Grove council amends current fiscal year spending; final FY25–26 budget set for later action

The Pleasant Grove City Council opened a public hearing on its proposed final budget for fiscal year 2025–26 but took no final action on that item. The council then adopted Resolution 2025‑021, amending the current fiscal year (2024–25) budget to add $150,000 in appropriations for unanticipated personnel and operational expenses.

City director Roy (presenter) told the council the changes to the tentative FY25–26 document were limited and noted one confirmed change: “a decision was made to provide the rec center with $40,000 for some audio improvements,” which has been reflected in the revised packet. He said other figures in summary pages and capital project pages were updated accordingly.

Finance staff and council members discussed the separate budget amendment request before the close of the fiscal year. Roy said the $150,000 request was intended to cover several one‑time expenses that arose late in the year and which must be recorded before state fiscal‑year close: notably retirements in the police department that create payout obligations for accrued sick leave and vacation, and several fire‑department vehicle and mechanical repairs. Roy described the amounts as budget authority only; if unspent, the funds would remain in fund balance.

Council member Steve (council member) asked for updated sales‑tax receipts to compare actuals against projections; staff agreed to supply month‑over‑month and year‑over‑year figures once monthly posting is complete. Staff also confirmed they had filed an insurance claim for the rec center roof damage; an initial insurer estimate issued approximately $57,000, with additional reimbursement possible for depreciation after the city completes repairs and submits receipts. Roy and staff said they expect to front repair costs and be reimbursed later.

Several council members requested more transparent backup for future June budget amendments. Council member Steve asked for a table or memo breaking the amendment into line‑item amounts so the public and council could see how the $150,000 would be allocated; staff agreed to provide that detail for future amendments.

After public hearing and discussion, council member Jensen moved to approve Resolution 2025‑021. The motion passed on roll call with affirmative votes recorded from Council members Anderson, Rogers, Jensen, Lamone and Williams.

The final FY25–26 budget remained under consideration; staff indicated the FY25–26 adoption would be scheduled for a subsequent meeting after updated revenue (sales‑tax) numbers are available.

Ending: The council closed the public hearing on the proposed FY25–26 budget (no action taken) and completed the amendment to the current fiscal year. Staff will provide requested sales‑tax tracking and a line‑item breakdown for the amendment on request and will pursue reimbursement from the city’s insurer for the rec center roof once repairs are complete.
