Herriman council approves resolution amending FY 2024–25 budget
Summary
The Herriman City Council on Feb. 26 approved Resolution R10-2025 to amend the 2024–25 budget, recording reimbursements, carryovers and several small transfers for master-plan work, public safety and enterprise fund corrections. Staff said the changes will not reduce fund balance.
Herriman City Council approved Resolution R10-2025 on Feb. 26 to amend the fiscal year 2024–25 budget, city staff and councilmembers said.
City staff summarized changes during a public hearing that elicited no public comment. The amendment credits roughly $13,600 in insurance reimbursements to damaged-city-property accounts, adds a $30,000 carryover to cover a recently completed economic development study, and records $183,000 from vehicle sales plus about $17,000 in damage reimbursements to be placed into fund balance for future vehicle purchases. In public safety, staff proposed a one-time transfer of $4,000 from general supplies and a $5,000 transfer into the local government assistance (LGA) wage line to cover unexpected emergency-manager hours. Staff told the council these adjustments are not expected to reduce the city’s fund balance.
Kyle, a city staff member presenting the item, also told the council that impact-fee master plans are running higher than expected: the park master plan bid returned about $21,000 above budget while transportation master-plan work will run roughly $39,000 higher than originally anticipated. To keep the transportation work on schedule, staff proposed accelerating $90,000 from the FY 2026 budget into FY 2025.
“These studies are not inexpensive and they are very time consuming for staff,” Kyle said, noting that higher market demand for master-plan work has driven costs upward.
Kyle also discussed an EPA STAG grant to replace water lines in the city’s historic ("Old Town") area and reported that the grant will not cover designer/engineering costs. Staff said those costs will be covered from available fund balance and that accounting errors discovered in impact-fee coding will be corrected through internal transfers. Council members said they appreciated the clarity and moved quickly to vote.
Councilmember Sherry moved to adopt the resolution; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
The council approved the amendment at the same meeting that included routine reports and other consent-agenda items. The public hearing on the budget amendment produced no public speakers; the hearing was opened and closed at the meeting. The resolution will be incorporated into the city’s official financial records and implemented by city staff.
