Council approves multi-item 5th budget amendment: fixed-guideway reallocations, Deep Canyon parking and sheriff needs
The council approved Resolution 2026-24 (5th amendment), which adjusts fixed-guideway sales-tax estimates and allocations, withdraws an assumed $1.1M airport grant, reauthorizes RAPS and ARPA items, reallocates sheriff maintenance funds and budgets a $110,000 fire-panel repair, and adds $50,000 to complete Deep Canyon trailhead paving.
The full story
Auditor Matthew Funk walked the council through 14 items included in resolution 2026-24's 5th amendment to the 2026 budget. The package removed a planned fuel-canopy project and an assumed $1.1 million RAPS grant for an airport fuel farm that did not materialize, and it reestimated fixed-guideway sales-tax receipts upward to $8,961,000 for 2026. Funk explained a proposed distribution change: 40% of the fixed-guideway slice still goes to transportation, and the transportation portion would be split 70% to COG and 30% to county use, meaning roughly 12% of total tax revenue would remain for county capital projects such as roads and airports.
