Background Information:
On December 3, 2024, City Council approved Ordinance #2024-59, to carry forward funds to the FY2024-25 budget that had been obligated in the FY2023-2024 budget but not expended by the end of the fiscal year. On May 20, 2025, City Council approved Ordinance #2025-15, to amend the budgets in the Water and Wastewater Special Services Fund, Community Enhancement Fund, and the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) #5 Fund.
An additional funding amendment has been identified to provide:
• $217,874 in Resource Recovery funds to fulfill contractual obligations for garbage contract
Revenues for the Resource Recovery fund are still estimated to exceed expenses. The garbage contract expenses trended higher than budget. Customer count is used to estimate the annual amount due for our garbage contract and the count used to estimate the budget for Fiscal Year 2025 was estimated too low compared to actual.
Each year the previous budgeted amount is used as a base line to estimate for the upcoming year. Since FY 2025 is higher than budgeted, we will most likely need to come back to Council mid-year in Fiscal Year 2026 to amend the FY 2026 budget as well.
