North Las Vegas council adopts $127.3 million budget augmentation to close out FY2025

The North Las Vegas City Council on June 18 approved Resolution No. 27,41, adopting a $127.3 million augmentation to the city’s fiscal year 2024–25 budget to record grant awards, capital project rollovers and other adjustments required under state law.

Justin O’Brien, budget manager for North Las Vegas, told the council the augmentation reflects items that occurred after the adopted budget was approved and must be recorded “as required by NRS.” He said the two largest causes of the augmentation were grant awards and capital project rollovers and that roughly 79% of the adjustments were related to grants and proprietary capital project rollovers.

O’Brien said the augmentation increases governmental funds by about $68.3 million and proprietary funds by about $58.9 million for a combined total of roughly $127.3 million. He described the action as the city’s final compliance step to close out fiscal year 2025 and said most of the augmentations reflect previously approved projects and awards that were not processed before the fiscal year ended.

Council members did not receive the slide deck O’Brien planned to present; he said the numbers and supporting state forms will be published for public review. After a public hearing with no speakers, a council member moved to approve the resolution and the motion passed. The council did not provide a roll-call tally in the meeting record.

Why it matters: augmentations formally incorporate new revenues and expenditures into the adopted budget so the city can legally spend awarded grants and complete capital projects already underway. O’Brien said the city’s budget team worked with the Nevada Department of Taxation and that the FY2026 budget had recently been accepted by the department.

The council’s vote concluded the item; no conditions, amendments or follow-up tasks were recorded during the hearing.
