BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The purpose of the Facilities Maintenance Fund is to set aside funds for unexpected repairs on the City’s aging infrastructure and are used to address major structural and system repairs in City buildings and parks. During the development of the FY 2025 Budget, $550,000 was budgeted in General Fund expenditures to be transferred into the Facilities Maintenance Fund to begin to replenish a contribution that the Facilities Maintenance Fund made to the Zipp Family Sports Park project. However, to ensure that the City meets its fund balance requirement in the General Fund, it is recommended that this transfer be deferred and reconsidered as part of the FY 2026 budget development process.

 

With the budget amendment, $550,000 will be de-appropriated from General Fund expenditures and Facilities Maintenance Fund revenue and expenses in the FY 2025 Budget.
