Sunset Council reviews FY2026 amendments, FY2027 budget preview and URS pickup requirement
Summary
Recorder Nicole Supp reviewed FY2026 budget amendments and FY2027 projections, reporting revenue increases in permits and meter reimbursements and projected fund deficits; Council directed staff to prepare a resolution to continue the 1.25% URS pickup for Tier II public safety employees to meet IRS requirements.
Recorder Nicole Supp reviewed proposed amendments to the FY2026 budget and presented preliminary FY2027 projections at the Sunset City Council work session on June 2.
Supp said revenue adjustments reflected higher-than-expected License and Permit receipts (business licenses, building permits, plan check fees), additional utility turn-ons from development activity, and developer reimbursements tied to water meter purchases. She explained the City purchased water meters under a large package that included ten years of cellular service and that developer contributions offset much of the cost. Supp reported General Fund revenues projected at approximately $2,543,510 against expenditures of about $3,145,688, producing a projected shortfall of roughly $602,178. City-wide totals (all funds) projected revenues at about $5,337,877 and expenditures at about $6,893,665.
On the FY2027 budget, Supp summarized proposed General Fund revenues of approximately $3,295,005 and expenditures of about $3,349,922, noting a planned $650,000 transfer from the Public Works Capital Projects Fund and that staff would present the proposed budget for public hearing and adoption at the Council’s next meeting. She also said staff might propose a new development committee review fee and would present a dispatch fee increase and the certified tax rate for Council consideration.
Separately, Supp said the Utah Retirement Systems (URS) notified the City that the Internal Revenue Service now requires municipalities to adopt a formal resolution to continue paying the employee contribution pickup for Tier Two public safety employees (a 1.25 percent pickup). The Council directed staff to prepare that resolution and place it on a future agenda for formal consideration.
Other administrative items noted: crack-seal and chip-seal street maintenance scheduled over the coming days, ongoing playground and sprinkler repairs, and an upcoming stormwater audit engineering completion. Council thanked staff and confirmed the proposed FY2027 budget will return for formal public hearing and adoption.
