Fire truck purchase delayed to July; planner consulting costs drop in draft budget
Summary
Staff said the new fire truck procurement was pushed into July and that current spending produced a large reduction in planned planner consulting costs next fiscal year (from $130,000 budgeted this year to an expected $20,000 next year).
Peter, a city staff member, told the council the fire truck purchase was delayed into July — after the city's fiscal year end — which required moving the related revenue and expense into the next fiscal year: "the fire truck did get pushed out into July, but it just happens to be our fiscal year end. So we did have to move, that revenue expense a year forward."
He also reported the planner contract for Halcyc Consulting had been budgeted at $130,000 this year while actual spending year‑to‑date was only about $18,000; staff said they expect a much smaller consultant budget next year (about $20,000). Council members noted these timing and spending shifts as they review capital and contingency planning.
