Finance director presents first reading of Enumclaw’s 2026 budget amendment
Summary
Finance Director Kristen Reed presented the first reading of Ordinance No. 2,841, the city’s 2026 budget amendment, reporting that estimated vs. actual beginning fund balances differed by about $2.4 million and that the amendment increases revenues $1.4 million and expenses $2.6 million.
On June 22, 2026, Enumclaw’s finance director, Kristen Reed, presented the first reading of Ordinance No. 2,841, the city’s first budget amendment for fiscal year 2026.
Reed said the primary purpose of the amendment is to reconcile differences between estimated and actual beginning fund balances. "The difference between our estimated beginning fund balances and actuals was almost $2,400,000," she told the council. Most of the variance reflects projects not completed by year-end and resulting rollovers into the current year. The amendment includes a net revenue increase of approximately $1,400,000 (largely grant rollovers and interfund transfers) and an increase in expenses of about $2,600,000; the net effect is an increase in the ending fund balance of just over $1,000,000.
Reed also noted staffing changes included in the amendment: increasing the media services technician position from 0.5 FTE to 1.1 FTE and adding a temporary 0.5 FTE administrative specialist in the finance department to support implementation of new financial software.
This was a first reading; council raised no questions during the meeting. The ordinance will return for a subsequent reading and possible adoption.
