Council approves amended and final budgets for fiscal year 2026–27
Summary
Council approved a year‑end amended budget (Resolution 20‑26GS) and the final FY 2026–27 budget (Resolution 20‑26H). Staff described increased permit/licensing revenues, personnel payout adjustments, and planned grant‑matched projects including a ramp/grant for Slaterville Park and a 17th Street road project.
Marriott‑Slaterville’s council approved two budget measures: an amended budget intended to close out the current fiscal year’s accounts and the final fiscal‑year 2026–27 budget.
Staff walked council through the amendment, noting higher-than-expected licensing and permit revenues and several expenditure overages (personnel benefit payouts, small increases to public safety and community services). The amendment was described as routine ‘‘year‑end cleanup’’ to avoid audit exceptions.
For the final 2026–27 budget, staff presented a summary memorandum citing total general‑fund revenues and expenditures in the presentation (summary language referenced $4.7 million in the general fund totals in staff’s memo), noted project timing changes related to the 17th Street road project and GRAMA/ramp grants, and described enterprise funds (sewer, stormwater) and expected enterprise revenues. Staff also explained procurement rules and that items over $10,000 require additional council approval when brought forward.
Council discussed personnel costs (cost‑of‑living and merit increases), public‑safety contract costs driven by the sheriff’s contract, and the need to monitor state tax accounting. After debate, council approved the amended budget (Resolution 20‑26GS) and the final budget (Resolution 20‑26H) by roll call votes.
