The Dunedin City Commission unanimously approved Resolution 25‑27 on Nov. 20, formalizing year-end budget adjustments that capture storm‑related expenses across multiple funds.

Finance Director Les Tyler told commissioners the total net impact across funds is $1,865,000 and that most of the adjustments are tied to recovery from tropical events (Debbie, Helene and Milton). Key entries include a $259,000 transfer in the general fund for Kimley‑Horn design services for pier and dock repairs, $907,639 in disaster recovery fund entries (broken down as $30,000 for Tropical Storm Debbie, $654,000 for Hurricane Helene and $223,000 for Hurricane Milton), a $170,000 interest expense related to a $5,000,000 interfund loan from the Fleet Fund, and a $298,000 marina-fund capital amendment for bulkhead design services.

Tyler said the city expects these repair and capital costs to be largely reimbursed by FEMA: "This should be 87.5% reimbursed by FEMA in the state of Florida," he said. Tyler also said staff expects remaining debris‑removal reimbursements in January and that the loan taken from the fleet fund will be paid off once FEMA reimbursements are received.

Commissioners asked about the health fund amendment and recent variability in health-fund costs; Tyler said health-fund expenditures vary year to year and staff monitor stop‑loss and consultant estimates when budgeting. The resolution passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.

Next steps: staff will continue documentation and submit required FEMA reimbursement packages; the commission will see implementation details and any further adjustments as reimbursement timing becomes clear.
