Council amends FY2025–26 budget to record police grant and fund park appraisal
Summary
The council approved a budget amendment to record newly awarded police grant revenue and to add up to $4,000 to the parks budget for an appraisal tied to a potential land swap. Council characterized the grant amendment as a bookkeeping action increasing revenue and corresponding expenditures rather than a net appropriation change.
Pleasant View — At its Oct. 28 meeting, the Pleasant View City Council adopted a resolution amending the fiscal year 2025–26 budget to recognize newly awarded police grant revenue and to add a parks appropriation to pay for an appraisal related to a possible land trade.
Laurie explained that the police department had received additional grant funding and staff needed to increase both the revenue and related expenditure lines to account for the award. Laurie said the prior budget line for the grant was roughly $10,000 and the new award raised the budgeted amount toward $22,500; council members described the amendment as largely a bookkeeping step to record the grant the department already received.
The amendment also added up to $4,000 in the parks budget to pay for the appraisal referenced on the EK Bailey parcel discussed later in the meeting. Council asked clarifying questions about the grant amount; there was some back‑and‑forth about the exact figures in the staff packet, which Laurie said would be clarified in the official resolution documents.
A motion to close the public hearing was made and seconded, and the council later approved the resolution by roll call. Staff described the budget amendment as a wash — increasing both revenue and expenditures — rather than a new tax or appropriation request.
