Comptroller Nahan reported that general fund revenues through December 2025 were $14,036,173, or 105% of total budgeted revenues for the year. December revenues included $82,359 in rural fire association fees, $25,454 in building permits and $10,385 in payment in lieu of tax. Expenditures through December were reported as $1,200,086,061,797 (96% of budgeted expenditures), and net revenues over expenditures as of Dec. 31, 2025 were $1,174,376. Nahan cautioned that final numbers are subject to revision in the year-end audit.
During the administrative report, staff member Scott described plans for the downtown fire station remodel and staging. Scott said fencing and staging should appear in mid-to-late January; the alley between Main and 2nd Streets will remain open, and the city portion of the block will be closed for construction staging while the alley remains passable. The contractor will use part of Asness Park parking lot for a construction trailer and material staging. Scott said demolition work will be prominent early, with tip-up panels expected in April and a period of quieter utility work through spring; staff anticipate substantial completion and use of the facility by late 2026, though contract dates extend into 2026 and completion timelines may shift.
Scott also said the city expects to maintain primary response capabilities during construction by staging apparatus and relying on mutual aid arrangements as needed; volunteer firefighters may have tighter spaces and some training nights will be staged at City Hall.
The council had no additional motions on the project during the meeting. Departments will continue coordinating traffic control, staging and emergency-response plans during construction.
