Westfir staff to transfer $68,000 in fund exchange with Lane County; council notes budget and procurement items
Summary
City Recorder Nicole Tritten reported an intergovernmental fund‑exchange with Lane County for $68,000, discussed budgeted mower purchases, and noted an accounting change addressing concerns about Resolution 576.
City Recorder Nicole Tritten told the council that an intergovernmental agreement for a fund exchange with Lane County had been signed and that Westfir would transfer $68,000 to Lane County this week; Lane County will then transfer the same amount back to Westfir. The exchange was presented as part of routine fiscal management and will occur under the signed agreement.
Tritten also reviewed budgeted equipment purchases: the cost for a new ladder for the fire engine and previously approved purchases of two riding mowers. Volunteer Randy Stark distributed quotes comparing a Cub Cadet to a John Deere mower for Portal Park and Winfrey Road right‑of‑way maintenance; the minutes note the purchases were approved in the current fiscal year budget. Tritten reported that Resolution 576, which transferred appropriation authority within the General Fund for FY 25–26, may have run counter to Local Budget Law; she said she implemented an accounting change before July 1, 2026, that made the resolution unnecessary.
