Summary
After a public hearing, the Farrin City Council voted to amend the FY2025/26 budget and approved related administrative resolutions, including a Rocky Mountain Power pole-relocation request; council also approved routine consent items and funding for youth programs.
The Farrin City Council on April 15 completed a public hearing on its proposed FY2025/26 adjustments and approved Resolution 2026-4.15 to amend the budget.
Chair (presiding) explained the main adjustments as moving the barn cost from the general fund into a capital projects fund and correcting wage allocations that had been split across multiple funds. "We moved out the barn. That was the biggest chunk of it," the Chair said during the public hearing, adding that some figures will be re-fixed when the council reopens the books in June to close the year.
Council members raised procedural questions about public access to documents and staff availability; the Chair said copies of the budget are available at City Hall and that the tentative 2026/27 budget will be released at the next meeting and held for public review for at least 10 days before the June adoption hearing.
During regular business the council also approved Resolution 2026-4.15RMP, a request from Rocky Mountain Power to relocate a single utility pole on Mill Road. The Chair explained the claim from the utility and said the resolution is a standard form required for the work and will be forwarded to CVSSD and the utility.
The meeting included routine votes on the consent agenda, finalizing payments and a $200 per-person contribution to help local students attend Boys State. The council voted to pay the bills and adjourned at about 7:35 p.m. The Chair said staff will post follow-up budget materials and that an official amendment ordinance will appear in the council’s next packet.
What happens next: staff will implement the bookkeeping changes and bring any remaining cleanups to the June budget closing; Rocky Mountain Power will proceed after receiving the council’s resolution.
