DDA adopts FY2026‑27 budget, reduces proposed revenue share to $625,000
Summary
The Downtown Development Authority approved the FY2026‑27 budget and an amended FY2025‑26 budget with two corrections. The board also approved a FY26‑27 revenue share recommendation reduced to $625,000; Mayor Sue Osborn abstained from the revenue share vote citing a conflict of interest.
At the April meeting the DDA approved its FY2026‑27 budget and the FY2025‑26 amended budget with staff‑noted corrections.
Assistant City Manager Michael Hart reviewed the FY25‑26 amended budget corrections (raising Dam Improvements to $750,000; reducing the Downtown Parking Lots figure) and the FY26‑27 budget. Hart told the board that a $500,000 allocation for Master Plan implementation in FY26‑27 includes outbuilding design for Fire Department and Public Works and a sketch for an additional parking site at the former chiropractic building location. The board approved the amended FY25‑26 budget (motion by Craig Schmidt, supported by Bertschy) and later approved the FY26‑27 budget (motion by Strayer, supported by Schmidt) by roll call.
Hart also reviewed the FY26‑27 revenue share recommendation and reported the number had been reduced from $711,000 to $625,000. The board approved the $625,000 recommendation by roll call vote; the transcript lists YEAS: Abraham, Bertschy, Henderson, Johnson, Schmidt, Steffey, Strayer; NAYS: None; ABSTAIN: Osborn (declared a conflict of interest). The minutes do not list a mover/second for this specific motion beyond the stated motion by Strayer and support by Bertschy.
The FY26‑27 package reflects operating and project allocations including Master Plan implementation and other downtown projects shown in the packet's budget tables.
