Rolla council approves $1.02 million in 2025 transfers and amends 2025 budget
Summary
The Rolla City Council on Jan. 21 approved $1,022,231.55 in 2025 interfund transfers and a set of 2025 budget amendments across multiple funds, moving contingency and other reserves into community center, water and street improvement accounts.
Rolla City Council approved a package of 2025 interfund transfers and budget amendments at its Jan. 21, 2026 meeting, reallocating contingency and other reserves to cover project and debt needs.
Council voted unanimously to approve transfers presented by the Administrative Committee that move contingency and other funds into accounts including the Community Center, water improvement debt and street funds. The transfers package in the record lists a combined total of $1,022,231.55 in reallocated funds and related line items.
In the same action the council adopted a series of 2025 budget amendments across general, highway distribution, water, sewer, garbage and infrastructure funds. The amended budget lines include adjusted totals for the General Fund ($819,000 in amended expenditures) and Water and Sewer funds among others; the packet shows line-by-line amounts used to justify the amendments.
The Administrative Committee brought the recommendations forward; Alex Albert moved and Damond Schemmel seconded the motions to approve transfers and budget amendments. Council members voted Aye on both motions.
Why it matters: the transfers and amendments reallocate contingency and reserve funds to ongoing projects and debt service accounts, enabling work on water improvements and street projects and finalizing accounting for 2025 activity.
