Finance director outlines $2.4 million reconciliation in first reading of 2026 budget amendment
Summary
Finance Director Kristen Reed presented the first reading of Ordinance No. 2841, saying estimated beginning fund balances differed from actuals by about $2.4 million; the amendment adds staff FTE changes and reflects revenue and expense adjustments.
On June 22 the Enumclaw City Council heard the first reading of Ordinance No. 2841, the 2026 budget amendment. Finance Director Kristen Reed told the council the reconciliation between estimated and actual beginning fund balances was nearly $2,400,000, largely due to projects not completed as estimated and resulting rollovers into the next fiscal year.
Reed highlighted staff changes included in the amendment: increasing the media services technician from 0.5 FTE to 1.1 FTE and adding a temporary 0.5 FTE administrative specialist in the finance department to support the new financial software implementation. She summarized the financial changes reported in the ordinance: an approximate $1,400,000 increase in revenues (mostly rollovers and grants), a roughly $2,600,000 increase in expenses, and a net increase in ending fund balance of just over $1,000,000. Reed said this was the ordinance's first reading and offered to answer questions; none were recorded during the meeting.
