Mount Clemens commission approves midyear amendments and adopts FY 2024–25 budget
Summary
Commission approved amendments to the FY 2023–24 and FY 2024–25 budgets—largely driven by marijuana fees, a CDBG grant, HUD grant funding for Karnes building improvements and higher interest revenue—and adopted the FY 2024–25 General Appropriations Act including the tax rate.
The Mount Clemens City Commission on June 3 approved multiple budget amendments covering the 2023–24 fiscal year and amendments for FY 2024–25, then adopted the FY 2024–25 General Appropriations Act.
Staff presented the 2023–24 amendment noting most additional revenue came from newly received marijuana fees, an anticipated CDBG grant and higher investment interest. The general fund amendment showed roughly $449,500 in additional revenue offset by about $97,500 in increased expenditures, increasing the general-fund balance by approximately $352,000; staff said the change included reclassification of health-care expenditures across departments. Commissioners asked questions about line items (rental-inspection revenue down $10,000 and a zoning-permit fee line); staff offered to follow up with the finance officer.
For FY 2024–25, staff described HUD grant revenue and CDBG funds tied to Karnes building improvements and playground equipment. The amendments for FY 2024–25 included $240,000 in HUD grant revenue and $150,000 in CDBG grant revenue to offset associated expenditures; staff said the amendment reduced the general-fund balance by about $40,000 and that more amendments may follow as projects progress.
The commission then voted to adopt the FY 2024–25 General Appropriations Act and associated tax rate; separate action on utility-rate adjustments was noted as a distinct item planned for August.
Why it matters: The adopted budget establishes spending authority and tax rates for the coming fiscal year and incorporates grant funding that will pay for specific capital improvements.
Next steps: Staff will finalize line-item clarifications, file required documents before June 30 and bring any further amendments to the commission as necessary.
