Council hears first reading of 2026 budget amendment reconciling nearly $2.4 million in rollovers
Summary
Finance Director Kristen Reed presented Ordinance No. 2841 (first reading), a 2026 budget amendment that reconciles approximately $2.4 million in differences between estimated and actual beginning fund balances and includes temporary and permanent FTE adjustments.
On June 22 the Enumclaw City Council received the first reading of Ordinance No. 2841, the city’s first 2026 budget amendment, presented by Finance Director Kristen Reed.
Reed said the amendment reconciles a nearly $2,400,000 difference between estimated and actual beginning fund balances, largely the result of projects estimated to finish by year-end that did not. "The difference between our estimated beginning fund balances and our actuals was almost 2,400,000," she said. Reed explained that rollovers account for most of that amount.
Key items noted in the staff report include increasing the media services technician position from 0.5 FTE to 1.1 FTE and adding a temporary 0.5 FTE administrative specialist in finance to support implementation of new financial software. Reed said the amendment shows a revenue increase of about $1,400,000 (mostly grant rollovers) and an expense increase of about $2,600,000, producing an increase in the ending fund balance of just over $1,000,000.
The item was presented as a first reading; Reed said she was available for questions, but none were recorded during the meeting. The council did not adopt the amendment at the June 22 meeting — it was presented for review at first reading.
