West Haven Special Service District amends 2024–25 budget, approves $3.03 million property purchase
Summary
The West Haven Special Service District board held a public hearing, approved an amendment to the 2024–25 budget to cover a higher surveyed purchase price and adopted a real estate purchase contract for $3,027,772.40.
The West Haven Special Service District board on Thursday held a public hearing and voted to amend the district’s 2024–25 budget to reflect a revised purchase price for property the district is acquiring and then approved a real estate purchase contract for $3,027,772.40.
Board members opened a public hearing on the proposed 2024–25 budget amendment; no members of the public spoke. John, a staff member, told the board the purchase price changed after an as‑built survey showed a different acreage than previously estimated. “When we actually did the survey, it come back just a little bit more on the acreage,” John said, and the change increased the combined cost by about $24,000.
Why it matters: the budget amendment shifts funds to cover the higher acquisition cost and formally authorizes the contract that commits the district to pay for the property. The board said the final purchase price was included in the posted resolution.
After the public hearing the board approved Resolution 05‑2025 to amend the 2024–25 special service district budget. The board then considered Resolution O6‑2025, which the agenda described as approving and adopting a real estate purchase contract for the property; the amount listed in the resolution is $3,027,772.40. John told the board, “The total was in … $3,027,772.40,” referring to the contract amount as published in the resolution.
Votes and outcome: The budget‑amendment resolution (05‑2025) passed by voice vote. The board also voted to approve Resolution O6‑2025, adopting the purchase contract for $3,027,772.40. Board members recorded as voting “aye” during the roll calls included Mayor and James; other members announced support as well. The motions carried.
Details and next steps: the staff presentation said the amendment primarily covers the acreage adjustment from the final survey; no additional conditions or contingencies were noted in the meeting minutes. The board moved on to routine business after the votes and accepted the consent agenda before adjourning.
