Summary
The Coachella Valley transfer-station authority unanimously adopted Resolution 2026‑O2 to approve the recommended FY 2026–27 budget; staff said the transfer‑station expansion and a change to a utility‑focused CPI influenced the plan.
The Coachella Valley Waste Transfer Station Joint Powers Authority voted unanimously to adopt the recommended fiscal year 2026–27 budget, approving Resolution 2026‑O2.
Staff presented the budget and asked the authority to adopt the resolution. "Staff is recommending that you adopt the resolution 2026‑O2 and approve the fiscal year 2026‑27 recommended budget," said Miss Toyota, the staff presenter. She told members that prior-year budgets were affected as the transfer‑station expansion work began, and that the recommended budget includes routine administrative fees and consultant funding to support the expansion through the coming fiscal years.
Miss Toyota said tonnages into the transfer station "have continued to decrease slightly," and that the authority shifted the CPI inflation component to a utility‑focused CPI tied to waste, water and sewer to help keep budgets stable year to year. Board members asked no substantive follow‑up questions during the presentation.
A member moved to approve the resolution; the motion received a first by Coachella and a second by Indio and passed unanimously, 3–0. The board gave staff direction to proceed under the adopted budget. The authority did not receive any public comment on the budget.
The action completes formal approval of the recommended FY 2026–27 budget; staff will implement allocations consistent with the resolution and the ongoing transfer‑station expansion work.
