Coolidge workshop reviews budget amendment and 2025 millage rate as solid-waste costs rise
Summary
City staff discussed a fourth-quarter budget amendment and the proposed 2025 millage rate, noting increases in solid-waste expenses that could affect the fiscal plan. No vote or specific dollar figures were recorded in the workshop minutes.
Mayor Diane H. Causey called the City of Coolidge workshop to order on Sept. 2, 2025, where staff opened discussion of several budget-related items, including a proposed fourth-quarter budget amendment and the city’s 2025 millage rate.
City staff outlined that a fourth-quarter budget amendment is being considered to adjust the current fiscal-year spending plan. The workshop record does not include line-item amounts, specific proposed transfers, or the amendment text; staff discussion focused on the need for adjustments to align revenues and expenditures.
The proposed 2025 millage rate was also placed on the agenda. Workshop participants reviewed the millage-rate topic as part of the city’s budget planning, but the transcript does not list a proposed millage figure, a public hearing, or a formal vote on the rate at the workshop.
Officials and staff additionally addressed an increase in solid-waste expenses and its budgetary implications. The workshop noted the expense increase as a driver of the budget conversation; the minutes do not include the size of the increase or the funding mechanism proposed to cover it.
No formal motions or votes on the budget amendment, millage rate, or solid-waste funding were recorded in the workshop minutes. The item will return to the council for formal consideration if and when staff presents ordinance language, dollar amounts, or a proposed millage rate for adoption.
The workshop adjourned later the same evening.
