LBWID says budget on track; cyber-security upgrade pushed one line-item over
Summary
The Lake Barcroft Watershed Improvement District reported its FY budget is on target, expects to preserve a $2.6 million general fund balance if the dam project runs through year-end, and noted a computer control (cybersecurity) upgrade exceeded budgeted estimates; about $700,000 in taxes remain to be collected.
The Lake Barcroft Watershed Improvement District reported on Jan. 9 that its current fiscal-year budget is tracking as expected and that the district remains on course to maintain a $2.6 million general fund balance if the Dam Embankment project continues through the end of the year.
At the planning meeting, the LBWID operations director said a recent computer control upgrade tied to cybersecurity exceeded the line-item budget but was necessary for operations. The district did not report other unplanned overspends.
Staff said roughly $700,000 in tax revenue remains to be collected for the fiscal year. The operations director also reviewed the timetable for the 2026 budget: the district must finalize the budget for submission to the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District for approval in February, then to the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board in March; the tax rate must be submitted to Fairfax County in March.
No formal budget adoption or vote occurred at the planning meeting; staff characterized the discussion as scheduling and status updates ahead of formal budget submission and external approvals.
