The Shawnee City Commission approved multiple amendments to its five-year capital improvement plan (FY2026–2030) and associated budget updates, and received a monthly sales tax report showing February receipts above conservative projections.
Finance Director Kimberly Hoover detailed a series of line-item changes: the street fleet replacement tandem will be recorded at $228,000; Expo electrical/mechanical upgrades were reduced to $150,000; Expo fleet acquisition was adjusted to $66,189.90; the Expo overhead doors were lowered to $75,000 for FY2026–27 and $25,000 for FY2028; the Expo pylon sign repair/replacement was moved to FY2027 in the amount of $35,000; Fire Station 1 renovations were moved from Fund 301 to Fund 303 for $350,000. After the amendments, staff reported a surplus of $866,410 for the fund.
Commissioners moved and seconded approval of the CIP amendments and the related budget amendments; both motions carried 7-0.
On separate budget amendments tied to the CIP, staff said increases were required to reflect actual costs: the street fleet replacement increase was recorded as $28,000 and the traffic fleet replacement (bucket truck) increase as $29,941; the commission approved those amendments 7-0.
Hoover also reported February sales tax receipts of $2,804,109.30 (including $4,676.72 in interest) distributed across eight funds.
