Council reviews tentative FY2025–26 budget; staff outlines road, park and water projects
Summary
Finance staff presented a tentative FY2025–26 budget showing a modest general-fund surplus, increased grant revenue, and a rise in expenditures driven by road projects. Council set a public hearing for June 26, 2025.
Marriott-Slaterville finance staff reviewed the city’s tentative fiscal-year 2025–26 budget, which includes planned expenditures for multiple road and park projects and a proposed schedule for public hearings.
Brent, presenting the budget timeline and numbers, said the city’s proposed general-fund revenues are up $439,000 compared to last year and the tentative budget currently shows a budgeted surplus of about $192,000. Permits and licenses are budgeted lower (down about $100,000) while intergovernmental revenue (grants) is substantially higher — an increase of roughly $2.9 million — reflecting expected grant awards tied to transportation and capital projects.
On the expense side, staff said expenditures are up by roughly $500,000 from the previous year, driven largely by multiple road projects planned in the coming year. Key capital notes presented by staff included: - Seventeenth Street reconstruction: staff estimated the reconstruction at about $5,000,000. The sewer line work is under bid advertisement; a bid opening is scheduled and preconstruction is planned in July. - CDBG sewer project: $800,000 total, with $400,000 paid via a federal grant. - Slaterville Park and other park projects: staff proposed using a portion of impact fees for park improvements, and a county award of $530,000 toward a ramp at Slaterville Park was included elsewhere in the packet. - Transportation impact-fee proposals: $120,000 proposed for 2250 West; $700,000 proposed for the 1700 South project. - Sewer and stormwater impact fees: $400,000 proposed for Seventeenth Street sewer; $250,000 for various stormwater projects.
Staff also listed personnel additions and equipment purchases for the current fiscal year, including a new activities coordinator and a 2025 Chevrolet Trax for city use. The budget presentation noted ongoing updates to impact fees and the city’s general plan; some impact fees have not been updated since 2009.
Council members asked clarifying questions about permit activity, revenue assumptions and the timing of multi-year projects. The council set a public hearing on the tentative FY2025–26 budget for 06/26/2025.
