Board narrows $450,000 funded highlights, holds mini excavator and golf cart purchases
Summary
Faced with a $450,000 list of funded items for FY26, the board agreed to remove a $40,000 outside-agency assistance line and place holds on a mini excavator and a golf cart to preserve reserves while staff prepares the recommended budget.
Board members reviewed a package of 12 funded items totaling roughly $450,000 and discussed which purchases could be delayed or removed to protect the general fund. Chair presented the package and described shared vs. general-fund-only costs; after discussion the chair summarized direction: "So we're taking out the whole 40. We are, taking out the outside agency's financial assistance. We're putting a hold on the mini excavator and putting a hold on the golf cart."
Members discussed timing (for example, waiting until March for golf cart use and considering lease options) and agreed to revisit some items after the second quarter when audit and revenue clarity improve. Staff will reflect these holds and removals in the recommended budget for the October readings.
