Summary
After amendments and line-item updates from staff, the Astoria Budget Committee tentatively approved the city budget for FY 2025–26, including Astor East and Astor West urban renewal budgets and a property tax levy rate, with amendments to several revenue and transfer lines.
The Astoria Budget Committee voted to tentatively approve the City of Astoria budget for fiscal year 2025–26 after staff read several amendments and revenue updates.
Staff reported amendments that increased water and sewer revenue totals and adjusted transfers to the Public Works Improvement Fund (including a $700,000 transfer from sewer and $800,000 from water). Staff also noted an increase in Promote Astoria LCTC funding to $200,000 and other contingency adjustments. One member moved to approve the budget "as presented with the amendments listed by Director Norton," and the motion passed on a voice vote. The committee also tentatively approved the Astor East and Astor West urban renewal district budgets and set the maximum tax amount for the Astor East district for the 2025–26 fiscal year per the motion language recorded in the transcript.
With the tentative approvals complete, the budget documents will be finalized and returned for formal council adoption according to the city's adoption schedule.
