Council reviews FY25 adjustments and FY26 capital priorities; sewer project and skid-steer purchase highlighted
Summary
Councilors added the ongoing sewer project to current-year adjustments, discussed capital items for FY26 including a proposed skid steer replacement and security upgrades, and set a public hearing in mid-June for budget approval.
City staff presented fiscal-year 2025 budget adjustments and a draft fiscal-year 2026 capital plan. The council noted the sewer project is active and its grant and finalized loan were added to the adjustments. A transportation master-plan grant of $59,700 was reported with a required local match of $11,000.
Council discussed replacing aging equipment: a tractor requiring about $17,000 in repairs (council characterized it as uneconomic to fix) and a proposed skid steer purchase that staff argued would allow in-house trenching, stump grinding and mowing to reduce contracted costs. Other capital items discussed included a trencher to install park sprinklers, security upgrades for city facilities (estimated near $10,000), reroofing/shop overhang repairs (quoted at roughly $16,050), and park equipment (soccer goals) with a quoted replacement price of about $7,000.
Council directed staff to place the possible adjustments on the agenda for the second meeting in June (public hearing scheduled) and to circulate further detail as quotes and invoices arrive. No final budget adoption occurred at this session; adjustments will be finalized after the public hearing and additional receipts are recorded.
