Summary
Meeting participants voted 6-0 to approve a package of budget amendments that adjust airport and grant funds, close two 2018 bond funds, record water-project proceeds, and reduce $1,000,000 in USDA relending-program revenue; $100,000 was appropriated for city-server replacement.
Meeting participants voted 6-0 to approve a package of budget amendments that adjust multiple city funds and appropriate $100,000 for replacement of servers at City Hall.
A staff member who presented the amendments said the airport fund will hold vacant positions for a few months and suspend an administrative fee to help the fund remain balanced while staff works to make it self-sustaining long term. The presenter also said the grant fund will record revenue and expenditures for grants received that night, including required matching dollars.
The staff member reported completion of a residual equity transfer from 2018 bond funds totaling $237,533 and proposed appropriating $100,000 from the general capital project fund for replacement of servers at City Hall. "We do recommend approval of the amendments included in tonight's agenda," the staff member said and invited questions.
Staff also said proceeds for water-system improvements will be recorded in a 2026 fund, noting the work may be attributable to the Hilltop water treatment plant. Two 2018 GM bond funds—one for Waterworks and one for the street capital-improvement program—were identified for full appropriation to effectuate closure of those accounts; the presenter noted earlier defeasance of remaining 2018 bond dollars.
In the economic development plan, staff reported adjusting revenue and expense to match year-to-date activity and said they will reduce $1,000,000 in revenue tied to the USDA intermediary relending program, a change described as required by state law. The presenter said the adjustments do not change or impact current-year tax rates or water rates.
Following the presentation the presiding officer called for the pleasure of the council; a motion to approve the amendments was seconded and the body voted. The presiding officer announced, "Motion carries 6 0." No abstentions or opposing votes were recorded.
The presiding officer then asked for future agenda-item requests; none were offered, and the meeting was adjourned.
