Budget workshop proposes increased community contributions, new positions and marketing funds
Summary
The proposed budget adds roughly $1.96 million to the general fund, including a $32,000 increase for the Boys & Girls Club, $200,000 for fleet leasing consulting, $50,000 for marketing outreach, and funding for a part-time communications specialist.
City Manager Sarges outlined proposed additions to the general fund that would raise the fund by approximately $1.96 million and be financed in part by fund balance and increased revenue. Notable line items included increasing the Boys & Girls Club contribution from $18,000 to $50,000, adding roughly $200,000 for fleet-leasing consulting, $50,000 for marketing and outreach, and funding a part-time communications specialist at about $32,003.
"We are going to increase the Boys and Girls Club contribution from 18,000 to 50," Sarges said, noting the $32,000 addition. He also described consulting allocations for the water plant and fleet lease program and the staffing addition in the city manager's office to support outreach and communications.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about why some items appear under revenue on the packet and requested corrected line-item formatting. Sarges and staff said they would correct decimal placement and walk through the packet to ensure each line item is in the right section before the public hearing.
