Bluff staff preview FY2025–26 budget amendment and urge council input on priorities
Summary
Town staff presented a draft amendment of the FY2025–26 budget and asked council for input on spending priorities through June 2026, noting tax revenue trends, PTIF interest not shown in the General Fund, and the need for a Capital Improvements Plan.
On Feb. 17 Erin Nelson presented a work-in-progress draft of the proposed FY2025–26 budget amendment and asked council members to identify priorities for spending through June 2026.
Nelson said tax revenues are down from previous years but are higher than the original adopted budget, and that the General Fund presentation does not show PTIF earnings which are available. She encouraged the council to adopt a planning-oriented budget that preserves flexibility for capital needs, specifically noting potential needs to fund CCC work and road-match requirements. Nelson also referenced the town’s existing 2024 Capital Improvements Plan, which included $190,000 for secondary water planning.
Nelson asked council members to provide feedback on what to spend by June and to approve a Capital Improvements Plan so staff can align procurement and grant-match timing. No formal amended budget vote occurred at the meeting; staff requested input to refine the amendment for a future council action.
