Summary

Staff said several transportation, capital-improvement and parks/stormwater projects were delayed into 2026, which created expenditure variances in 2025; the commercial-street and sidewalk work has started but produced little 2025 reimbursement.

Rick told the board project timing — not project cancellations — explained much of the expenditure savings in multiple sales-tax funds. He identified several larger projects pushed into 2026 and said reimbursements for two projects accounted for a sizable portion of the capital-improvement variance.

The presentation noted the commercial-street and sidewalk work had begun in 2025 but that reimbursements were small that year; staff said those projects and others will be active in 2026 and that the board should expect revised reimbursement flows and expense recognition in the coming year.
