Herriman council approves FY2026 budget amendments to carry over projects and add grants

Herriman City Council voted Nov. 12 to adopt a midyear amendment to the FY2026 budget that moves carryovers and newly awarded grants into the current accounting structure and adjusts several capital funds. The council approved Resolution R53-2025 on a unanimous voice vote.

The amendment, presented by staff member Kyle, moves $649,000 in general fund carryovers (noted as largely pavement-management funds) and budgets a $270,000 reimbursement from the sewer district related to a Miller crash trench repair. Kyle told the council the city will transfer roughly half the anticipated Rose Crest Road rehabilitation cost — a $3,200,000 project — into next year to avoid a single large expenditure in FY2026. “So it’ll be approximately $3,200,000 project. He requested we split that over 2 years,” Kyle said during the presentation.

The amendment also budgets multiple impact-fee carryovers and grants, including $6.4 million in park impact fee carryovers and a $19,000,000 grant from UDOT for Herriman Boulevard improvements. Staff added a grants fund to segregate 100%-funded items (for example, a $56,000 first‑responder mental‑health grant and $492,000 in CDBG funds intended for the proposed community center).

Council member discussion focused on timing and the reasons for carryovers, with staff citing project delays, grant timing and an engineering schedule that spread capital projects farther into the future. After the public hearing was opened and no public comments were made, Jared moved to approve the resolution; Sherry seconded the motion, which carried on recorded voice votes.

The resolution requires staff to manage the carryover funds as capital projects and to return for further actions if additional changes are needed.
