Clarkston Water Utility Fund shows $172,300 in revenue and $154,441 in proposed expenses for FY2026
Summary
The budget presentation lists Water Utility Fund operating revenue at $172,300 and proposed Water Department expenses at $154,441, including loan payments for the water tank and springs project; capital improvement and reserve lines appear but no adoption action was recorded.
The presenter read the Water Utility Fund section of the FY2026 proposed budget. Operating revenue is listed with Water Usage Fees at $131,000, Impact Fees $15,000, Water Dedication $21,000 and other small revenue lines for a total FY2026 estimate of $172,300.
Water Department expenses in the FY2026 column include Salaries $17,641; Equipment supply/maintenance $20,000; Water System Repairs/Maintenance $11,000; Capital Improvement—Restricted $16,000; Capital Outlay—Equipment $10,000; and loan payments including $46,000 for the water tank loan and $9,500 for a springs project loan. The Water Department FY2026 estimated total is $154,441.
Why it matters: the water fund shows positive operating margin on the presented numbers (revenue $172,300 vs. expenses $154,441), but the budget includes significant debt service (loan payments) and recurring maintenance lines that affect water rates and reserves. The transcript does not include policy discussion or rate changes; it is a readout of line items.
No motions or votes were recorded in the presentation. The transcript does not specify whether impact fees or capital-restricted funds are contingent on separate approvals or outside grants.
