Culpeper council approves $14.4 million carryover to FY2025 for unfinished capital projects
Summary
The council authorized a FY2025 budget amendment to carry over $14,399,232 in uncompleted FY2024 projects — including $4,836,100 for the county pool and $3,055,543 for parking and bridge projects — by unanimous roll-call vote after a public hearing with no commenters.
Town staff opened a required public hearing on a proposed FY2025 budget amendment to carry forward capital and other items not completed by June 30, 2024. The amendment totals $14,399,232, which staff said represents 24.6% of the currently stated FY2025 budget.
Staff listed major carryover items including a $4,836,100 contribution to the county pool and $3,055,543 for parking and bridge projects, plus funding for new well development, a wastewater-plant digester project, and outstanding purchase orders and supply orders that were not delivered by June 30, 2024.
After closing the hearing with no public speakers, staff recommended that the council authorize the town manager and town treasurer to make the FY2025 budget amendments to reflect the FY2024 carryovers. A council member moved the recommendation and the clerk conducted a roll-call vote; every member present voted 'Aye' and the motion carried.
Why it matters: Carrying forward these funds formalizes budget authority for projects that were delayed and allows work to continue under FY2025 appropriations. The amendment includes multi-million-dollar capital projects that affect infrastructure and recreation in Culpeper.
Next steps: Town staff and the finance office will execute the amendments and proceed with the identified projects under the FY2025 appropriation authority.
