New Windsor council reviews FY25 mid‑year budget, flags postage and water project earmarks
Summary
At a Jan. 21 work session the New Windsor Town Council reviewed FY25 mid‑year budget variances — noting high postage costs, Planning Commission assistant pay left at $0 pending a bill, and earmarked water capital funds — and discussed next steps in the FY26 budget process.
The New Windsor Town Council reviewed its FY25 mid‑year budget at a Jan. 21 work session, noting several variances officials said will shape the FY26 budget process.
Councilmember Connor Frock presented the general highlights, saying administrative and impact fee revenue was higher than expected because of activity related to Springdale and that postage costs have been unusually high and will be adjusted in FY26. He also noted that the Planning Commission part‑time assistant position is currently shown as $0 in the budget “waiting on bill,” according to the minutes.
On the enterprise side, council members heard that sewer and water hook‑up revenue increased due to Springdale activity, sprinkler fee invoices are scheduled to be sent in February, and the 3R’s program on the water side has $40,946 remaining. Council materials show $21,918 remaining in water capital projects, but that balance has been earmarked for a generator at Hillside Well; council members said that line will be maxed out for that purchase unless otherwise adjusted.
Town Manager Dye (first name not provided in the transcript) and Town Clerk/Treasurer Dana Mangus were present for the review; no formal budget votes were recorded during this work session. The council discussed next steps in the FY26 calendar and potential adjustments driven by the mid‑year variances.
