Edmonston reviews FY2025–26 budget; public works allocation down, workers’ compensation up
Summary
Town Administrator Rod Barnes presented the proposed FY2025–26 budget at a March 4 work session, reporting a lower Public Works allocation but higher workers’ compensation costs, a proposal to dispose of the seldom‑used dump truck, and a possible carryover of Highway User Revenue.
Town Administrator Rod Barnes reviewed the Town of Edmonston’s proposed FY2025–26 budget at the March 4 work session, saying the Public Works allocation has decreased while workers’ compensation costs have risen.
Barnes told the council the town is proposing to retire a rarely used dump truck as part of fleet management and cost‑saving measures. He also noted that Highway User Revenue may have funds available to carry over into the next fiscal year, and that General Government costs have fallen because the Town Administrator position will move to a contract status.
The review did not record a final vote on budget adoption; the council noted the schedule for continued budget discussions. The council listed the next related meetings as the regular council meeting on March 12 and a budget work session on March 25.
The workshop record does not include direct quotations or additional cost figures; all numeric specifics in the minutes were described qualitatively (decreased/increased) and no dollar amounts were provided.
