Executive Summary:
We are pleased to present, for your Board's consideration, the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Final Recommended Budget. This memorandum is intended to serve as an update to our June 24, 2025, memorandum introducing the FY 2025-26 Recommended Budget. For your reference, that memorandum is also attached to your agenda packet as much of it is still applicable.
Fund Balance Available (carry-over): We received the Fund Balance Available (FBA) in early September, and we added $6,493,892 to the budget. The FBA allowed us to be able to fund multiple extraordinary requests including Jail Roof Phase 1, estimated at $2,800,000. The Final Recommended Budget includes $3,878,096 in extraordinary requests. During the Recommended Budget Hearing, $465,796 was removed from the South Main Water Line Project for various roof projects. Those funds were added bringing it back up to $2,000,000. Additionally, in Budget Unit 1778, $1,150,000 was added for the Courthouse HVAC upgrade. We also propose an increase in the general fund BU 7999 Contingencies of an additional $1,000,000.
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) also known as State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF): The County received $12,506,226. Of that, $10,632,822 has been spent or transferred to non-General Fund departments. The remaining $1,871,484 has been budgeted to be spent this fiscal year.
