Council approves FY2026 budget amendment after questions over missed invoices and steep brush-truck cost increases
Summary
The council approved Resolution 25‑34, a fiscal-year 2026 budget amendment that includes pulling a $152,000 water-fund charge into the current year after an invoicing oversight and addresses a brush-truck lease whose estimated costs rose sharply due to two-year-old upfit quotes.
Council opened a public hearing on Resolution 25‑34 (FY2026 budget amendment) and heard no public testimony; staff and council then discussed specific line items. Councilmember S6 questioned why $152,000 that had gone into reserves at year-end was not tracked and handled earlier; staff (S7) explained the vendor had not issued the invoice until October and it was therefore discovered after the fiscal year closed.
Council also examined the unified brush-truck lease. Staff explained that the original upfit quotes were roughly two years old and that market and component-price increases contributed to a jump in final costs. Councilmember S10 said he will dig deeper into why the vendor could not guarantee price at order. After discussion, S13 moved to approve Resolution 25‑34; S6 seconded and a roll-call vote carried the motion.
