Burleson development board approves mid‑year budget amendment to record $1.49 million in new revenues
Summary
The Burleson Community Service Development Corporation approved a mid‑year amendment to its FY2025–26 budget to record $1,492,975 in revenues and $373,778 in appropriations for the sports complex fund and the city's 4B fund; staff said the change allows spending on inventory, staffing and tournaments.
The Burleson Community Service Development Corporation approved a mid‑year amendment to its fiscal 2025–26 operating budget at a meeting called to order at 04:30, the board heard.
Kevin Hennessy, the city’s deputy director of finance, presented the proposal, saying it would increase recorded revenues by $1,492,975 and appropriations by $373,778 across two funds. “So those two, combined, we move to approve a resolution requesting the mid year budget amendment to increase revenues by the $1,492,975 and appropriations in the amount of $373,778 in those 2 funds that we discussed this evening,” Hennessy said.
Hennessy told the board the amendment covers activity in the sports complex fund and the city’s 4B fund. He said the proposal shows roughly $107,285 by which revenues would exceed expenditures in the sports complex fund in the first year, reducing the need for transfers from the 4B fund. He also said that, after reviewing hotel‑motel fund activity, the city moved an expanded Fourth of July event expenditure into the 4B fund, producing a net negative impact of about $32,000 to that fund.
Board members asked why the city was seeking the change mid‑year rather than waiting until the end of the budget cycle. Hennessy said the amendment is needed to create appropriation authority so the city can buy additional goods and hire staff to support increased food, beverage and merchandise sales and upcoming tournaments. A staff member added, “There’s more part time hours as a result of increased food and beverage activity,” and another member compared the situation to how the golf course is managed when sales increase.
Victoria, a board member who made the motion, moved to approve the resolution; the chair announced a second by “Chris” and stated the motion passed by a unanimous vote. The board did not record individual roll‑call tallies in the transcript.
The board had no requests for future agenda items, declined to go into executive session and adjourned at 04:37.
