Camp Verde council reviews FY2026 capital plan and asks for more detail on Sports Complex, Dickison Circle and revenue risks
Summary
Town Manager Miranda Fisher and Finance Director Michael Showers presented the proposed FY2026 Capital Improvement Plan and initial general fund revenue projections on April 3, 2025. Councilors sought follow-up on funding for the Dickison Circle completion, a Sports Complex funding strategy, a website CIP sheet, details on a "periweather" system, and worst-case revenue scenarios.
At a budget work session on April 3, 2025, the Town of Camp Verde’s mayor and council reviewed the proposed Fiscal Year 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and initial General Fund revenue projections presented by Finance Director Michael Showers and Town Manager Miranda Fisher.
Showers outlined the CIP’s near- and mid-term priorities, describing planned capital purchases and five-year capital projections that cover parks and public-use facilities, town facilities, public-use infrastructure, town systems and equipment, fleet vehicles, grant-funded projects, and CIP-related debt payments. Town Manager Miranda Fisher said the CIP was developed collaboratively across department directors and reflected a shared prioritization of projects.
Councilors pressed staff for additional detail on several items and asked for follow-up materials before the next budget meeting. Specifically, council members asked whether CIP funding must be allocated in the current plan for the Dickison Circle project given its scheduled completion in June 2025; for a funding strategy and timeline for the Sports Complex build-out; for a dedicated CIP worksheet for the town’s proposed new website; and for more information about the item recorded in the minutes as the "periweather system." Finance Director Showers and Town Manager Fisher fielded those questions alongside department directors and indicated staff would provide the requested information.
The council also asked staff to prepare a worst-case revenue decline scenario and a revenue generation plan to accompany the CIP materials. Mayor Dee Jenkins recessed the session at 4:35 p.m. and reconvened at 4:41 p.m.; after the Q&A the meeting was adjourned at 5:31 p.m. Town Clerk Leah Rhodes certified the minutes; the certification text as included in the record contains apparent typographical errors in the signature lines.
The council is scheduled to review the budget recommendations at its regular meeting on April 23, 2025. Staff committed to deliver the requested CIP sheets, funding strategies and revenue analyses ahead of that review.
