Council reviews draft FY25 Public Works and Sewer budgets; resident proposes staffing shift
Summary
During FY25 budget discussion, resident Jim Larrow recommended reducing one Public Works position and adding one to the Sewer Department (net neutral); council discussed vehicle payments, no major purchases for FY25, and paving and sidewalk work.
Council members reviewed draft FY25 operating budgets for Public Works and the Sewer Fund on May 14. Jim Larrow addressed the council and recommended reducing Public Works headcount by one while increasing Sewer Department headcount by one, noting that the net effect to staffing would be neutral because one worker (Dan Flynn) would work across both departments. Council members discussed a vehicle payment purchased in 2023 and indicated there were no planned large equipment purchases for FY25; supplies budgets were proposed to stay the same.
The minutes show council discussed paving and sidewalks in the same agenda item. No formal budget adoption vote is recorded in the minutes for FY25; the item was listed as discussion/possible decision. The council did not record additional numerical budget figures or a vote on staffing changes in the minutes.
