Council reviews April 2025 finances; pickleball capital listed at about $70,000
Summary
Council reviewed April financials showing increases in property tax, energy tax, and specific expenses. Staff noted a $70,000 capital figure tied to pickleball court work and discussed cemetery and sidewalk expenditures and grant reimbursements.
City staff presented the financial report for April 2025 and the council moved to accept the budget report.
Staff highlighted revenue increases in general property tax, electricity/energy tax, county highway/transit funds, B and C road funds and RAPs tax allocation. On the expenditure side, zoning and subdivision fees, cemetery lots/burials, recreation registration and professional/technical spending increased. The planner/staff said "That $70,000 is the pickleball" when describing the capital figure reported on parks and recreation. Staff also noted the city had placed pipe bought with federal COVID funds at the city shed for a future 2nd West waterline project and described camera purchases and manhole camera monitoring used to detect I&I issues.
Councilors asked clarifying questions about telephone and insurance costs, first-responder grant reimbursements and whether the city should pursue additional road funding from state sources. A motion to accept the financial report for April 2025 was made and seconded and approved by voice vote.
Next steps: Staff will continue to track grant reimbursements and capital projects and report progress in future financial updates.
