Summary

Deputy City Manager Jeff Balentine presented a preliminary 2024 budget covering General Fund, street, water, sewer, storm and capital improvement funds, showing estimates with and without ARPA funds and identifying reserve trends; no final appropriations were adopted.

Deputy City Manager Jeff Balentine presented the City of Granite Falls’ preliminary 2024 budget to the City Council on Sept. 6, outlining revenue projections, reserve estimates and capital fund trends across the General, Street, Water, Sewer, Storm and Solid Waste funds.

Balentine walked the council through a PowerPoint that included projected General Fund revenues (with and without ARPA), estimated department expense categories, and preliminary reserve levels. He also presented separate preliminary trends and revenue/expense estimates for the Street, Water, Sewer, Storm and capital improvement funds and noted staffing counts for exempt and non‑exempt positions.

The presentation established the framework for upcoming budget discussions but did not adopt final appropriations or ordinance language. Councilmembers and staff flagged topics for follow‑up, including a workshop to review an engineer’s estimate for the wastewater treatment plant project. The city will return with more detailed figures and formal budget documents in subsequent meetings ahead of adoption deadlines.
