Clute council hears budget update, staff forecasts about $300,000 in added revenue
Summary
City staff presented a revised budget showing roughly $15.3 million in general‑fund revenue, noted a placeholder 25% increase for health‑care costs pending updated figures, and highlighted capital‑project timing changes in the CIP.
City staff presented a revised budget and projections that, with a revised ad valorem estimate and current rate assumptions, yield "about $300,000 more in revenue than previously anticipated," the presenter told the council.
The presenter said the general fund projection is approximately $15,300,000 and staff included a temporary 25% increase in the health‑care line pending updated cost estimates. "We're still waiting on revised health care coverage costing per staff, so this still includes a 25% increase in the base numbers that you see in front of you," the presenter said, adding that the actual increase is expected to be lower once staff receives final numbers. The presentation also outlined reallocated grant revenues tied to hazard‑mitigation contracts and noted capital spending decisions intended to preserve fund balance.
