The Raymore City Council unanimously adopted the fiscal year 2026 budget (Bill 39‑89) at its Oct. 27 meeting following a staff presentation of eight post‑first‑reading amendments.

The amendments, read into the record by Miss Williams, allocate one‑time funding from available fund balances as follows: $1,400,000 to the Transportation Fund for street preservation and curb and sidewalk repair; $40,000 for enhanced Amphitheater entertainment related to the 250th anniversary and World Cup summer activities; $3,500 for holiday lighting at the Raymore Activity Center (RAC); $4,700 for two pitching mounds and a pitching machine for the recreation department; $8,000 for two sets of rolling bleachers for the RAC; $18,000 to replace the police department drone; $8,500 from the general fund and $8,500 from the enterprise fund for trench and manhole worker safety equipment; and $15,000 from the enterprise fund for a finance‑department payment kiosk.

Councilmember Miss Abdul Gowad moved approval of the ordinance as amended; Mister Holman seconded. A roll call vote was recorded and the motion carried unanimously, 7‑0.

The amendments were described by staff as transfers from available fund balances and one‑time purchases or replacements rather than ongoing operating commitments. Staff noted the changes were prepared after council discussion at the Oct. 13 meeting and were read to simplify the final motion.

Budget adoption is the council’s formal action to set appropriations and fund balances for the coming fiscal year. The ordinance was adopted by unanimous vote and recorded as Bill 39‑89.
