Dallas council adopts supplemental budget and interfund loans to buy ambulance and fund facility fees
Loading...
Summary
The council unanimously approved a supplemental budget and interfund transfers to create a new facilities and equipment fee fund and to support purchase/remount of an ambulance, increasing related general fund entries by $730,000 and creating a $2,110,000 fund for revenues and expenditures.
The City of Dallas on Monday approved a supplemental budget and related interfund loans to fund a building renovation and the purchase and remount of an ambulance.
City staff opened the public hearing, telling the council that “Oregon budget law requires a supplemental budget with a public hearing, whenever a new appropriation, for authority is needed, and that change changes the fund by more than 10%,” and said the council previously approved a facilities-and-equipment fee that will be housed in the newly created fund. Staff proposed revenues and matching expenditures of $2,110,000 — including roughly $60,000 in initial fee revenue — and reported an additional $730,000 increase to general fund revenue and expenditures to pay for ambulance purchase and remount work.
The council moved quickly from hearing to action later in the meeting. Resolution 35‑64 (adopting and appropriating the supplemental budget) and Resolution 35‑65 (authorizing an interfund loan from the storm SDC to the general fund for a new ambulance and remount) were presented by staff and approved on roll‑call votes recorded as unanimous. A subsequent resolution (35‑66) authorizing an interfund loan from the Water System Development Fund to cover renovations at 147 Southeast Court Street and 187 Southeast Court Street also passed unanimously.
Councilors asked for clarity on where interest payments on the interfund loans will appear; staff said the transfers in the supplemental budget reflect principal only and that interest and repayment will appear in upcoming fiscal budgets (repayment beginning July 1, 2026). Staff also said footnotes missing from the initial packet will be included with the resolution documents transmitted for council records.
What happens next: The appropriations and loan authorizations will be reflected in the coming fiscal-year accounting and in the formal resolution documents. Staff said they will include the omitted footnotes with the resolution copies provided to the council.
