Council adopts budget amendments covering capital, water, stormwater and personnel adjustments
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2026‑04R to amend FY2025–26 budgets across several funds, including a trails master plan contract increase, public works wage adjustments (half‑year effect ~$78,810) and an emergency equipment replacement; total fund balance usage rolled through multiple funds as presented.
Finance Director Heidi presented Resolution 2026‑04R, outlining proposed amendments to the FY2025–26 budgets for the general fund, roads capital fund, water operating, stormwater, solid waste and fleet funds. She explained that some items are preliminary and that one large Avenue Side Path capital item may actually occur in FY2027 depending on award timing with Davis County.
Key line items noted by staff included an emergency replacement of an engineering plotter for $9,495, a trails master plan contract increase ($15,000) and half‑year wage and benefit increases for public works (~$78,810). Heidi said adjustments to water capital equipment were a bookkeeping cleanup because a $145,000 purchase was booked in the prior fiscal year. The aggregate presentation rolled through multiple funds producing a reported total use of fund balance of roughly $12,028,305 across the package, with individual fund impacts shown in the staff materials.
The council opened the public hearing; one resident (Dean Lawless) spoke in favor after reviewing the materials. After discussion, a council member moved to adopt Resolution 2026‑04R; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
