Council approves $95,579.71 in December expenditures; property‑tax receipts lagging
Summary
Council approved December expenditures of $95,579.71; city recorder Nicole Burton reported property‑tax receipts are about $7,800 below last year at this time and that most tax revenue arrives between Nov. 1 and Dec. 15.
The Westfir City Council approved expenditures for December 2025 totaling $95,579.71 on a motion and second; the roll‑call vote carried unanimously.
City recorder Nicole Burton reported the city has received about $7,800 less in property‑tax receipts year‑to‑date than last year, noting that most property‑tax revenue is received between Nov. 1 and Dec. 15. Burton said county property‑tax receipts are distributed across the county and that the city’s share is not a fixed per‑parcel amount; she suggested monitoring receipts through December when larger payments arrive.
Councilors discussed options to offset any shortfall, including scaling back certain enforcement efforts and using contingency funds; one councilor suggested prioritizing standard car cleanup over expensive RV towing because of disposal costs. Council approved the expenditures and authorized staff to continue monitoring.
