Nassau board reviews draft fiscal 2026–27 budget; fund balance used to cover website and pump-house fixes
Summary
At a budget workshop, the chair proposed adding a $10,000 website upgrade and a roughly $19,000 SCADA/pump-house computer replacement to the draft fiscal 2026–27 budget, funded in part by raising the general fund balance. The board also reviewed modest tax and utility revenue changes.
The Chair opened the fiscal year 2026–27 budget workshop and told board members that the packet includes a $10,000 allocation for a website upgrade placed in the clerk’s contractual line and covered by an increase in the village’s fund balance.
"What I did was I put $10,000 into the clerk's, contractual," the Chair said, noting the board raised fund balance from $100,000 to $110,000 to cover that and related items. The chair said the change restores equilibrium in the draft budget while leaving reserve funds available for capital needs.
Beyond the website and the pump-house computer upgrade, the chair walked the board through revenue assumptions. The document shows a rounded tax-cap figure described in the meeting as about $3.90, an increase the chair estimated would yield roughly $8,850 more than last year. Sales-tax receipts were reassessed upward to $120,000 from $110,000 in the draft, the chair said.
The packet also reflects a recent payoff of a $30-per-household bond that had previously boosted water revenue; with the bond removed, the water fund is expected to generate less income than in bond years and the board discussed how to allocate fund balance to cover capital needs. The Chair said he will circulate the full vendor estimate for the pump-house SCADA/computer replacement for the board to review ahead of the regular meeting.
