Snowville amends FY2025–26 budget, adopts FY2026–27 spending plan
Summary
Council approved amendments to close FY2025–26 shortfalls and adopted the FY2026–27 budget, moving restricted road funds and reallocating reserves to cover unanticipated road, parks and sanitation costs; votes were unanimous among members voting.
Snowville Mayor Jim Beagley presided as the council approved amendments to the town's fiscal 2025–26 budget and adopted the proposed 2026–27 spending plan.
Town finance staffer Tammie told the council the year-end review showed several departments exceeding their original appropriations and proposed targeted transfers to keep spending within authorized limits. To cover higher-than-expected road repairs, she recommended transferring $62,000 from the town's PTIF Class C road fund into the Highways and Streets budget. She also recommended reallocating $1,108 from the landfill account to cover garbage-service overages and recognizing a $1,500 donation for Fourth of July activities so related recreation expenses are recorded as revenue and expense.
"This amendment will fully fund the department and leave a small remaining balance for any final year-end adjustments," Tammie said during the hearing.
The council also approved covering approximately $11,103.74 in Parks, Recreation and Cemetery overages by transferring $4,000 from administration and reducing planned transfers to capital projects by roughly $7,104.
Council member LuAnn Johnson moved to amend the FY2025–26 budget; the motion was seconded and carried. The council then voted to adopt the FY2026–27 budget, which staff described as largely consistent with the prior year and that includes a $500 increase in culture and recreation to handle earlier seasonal needs.
Vote record for the amendment and adoption reflected unanimous support among the members voting: Council Members Brandon Garbanati, Mike Morgan, LuAnn Johnson and Trisha Arbon recorded "Aye." The town noted the budget amendments will be reflected in the year-end financial review.
The council indicated staff will provide updated budget documents to auditors and post amended budgets in meeting records. No further motions were made on these items at the meeting.
