Summary
Finance staff presented FY25–26 updates including salary adjustments, operating increases (utilities, waste disposal), cap/non-cap shifts and a reported $11,901,936.86 use of fund balance (plus an estimated $35,000). The court also discussed transfers related to juvenile probation and elections building costs.
Finance staff provided the court with an updated summary of general-fund changes for FY25–26. The presentation incorporated actions taken earlier in the meeting (salary adjustments and capital approvals) and noted operating changes including a $75,000 increase for utilities and $35,000 for waste disposal at the South Convenience Center. Staff also explained transfers related to juvenile-probation facility lease/tenant improvements and rollovers for insurance recoveries and vehicle repairs.
The clerk summarized cap/non-cap adjustments (including the radio tower funding decision), and the staff-reported total current proposed use of fund balance was $11,901,936.86, plus an additional $35,000 estimate from items approved during the meeting. Staff explained that rating agencies will question significant draws on fund balance and will ask whether decreases support one-time capital expenditures or ongoing operating costs.
The court discussed these elements, asked for continued clarity on which expenditures are one-time vs. recurring, and directed staff to reflect the approved actions in the final budget materials for upcoming rating and adoption actions.
