The Budget and Finance Committee moved to introduce and advance several budget amendments, including accepting a $150,000 grant from the Delta Regional Authority (DRA) to fund a road study, approving a $17,690 welcome sign, and adding sanitation positions totaling $115,768 to the 2026 operating budget. The committee set public hearings on the amended budget items for Wednesday, March 11 at 6:30 p.m.
Staff explained the DRA award pays for software-based road-condition assessments that map and rate road segments to build an updated inventory of damaged roads and repair priorities; committee members confirmed no local matching funds are required for the DRA grant. The welcome sign item was described as potentially illuminated; committee members asked clarifying questions about scope and installation.
The sanitation positions amendment was introduced and scheduled for public hearing; committee members voted to move these budget amendments forward. Recordings show motions were made and passed during the meeting.
The committee recessed briefly during the meeting to allow staff to gather clarifying details, then returned to conclude votes and hear vendor remarks on insurance items before adjourning.
