The motion passed unanimously 2.2 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 25-26, Amending the 2024-25 Fiscal Year Budget Lisa Dudley said this was the final budget amendment for the fiscal year. She reviewed changes to revenue and expenditures. This final budget amendment for the fiscal year is intended to reconcile all revenue and expenditure lines to ensure accuracy and determine the year-end general fund balance percentage-an important financial bencbrnark. Adjustments were made across various revenue categories, including decreases in tax revenues tied to a slowdown in development activity and increases in intergovernmental revenues and charges for services, especially from community events and recreation programs. A notable increase in interest income, particularly from the PTIF (Public Treasurers' Investment Fund), also contributed positively to general fund revenues. Overall, the general fund saw a net revenue increase of approximately $1.4 million, which offsets various intra-departmental budget adjustments outlined in Exhibit A. A key amendment includes an additional transfer to the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) fund for the five-year plan, which was initially omitted from the CIP documentation but has since been included via a substitute motion. Preliminary estimates suggest the city will e Year a gen Ce een o oO reVenue, final figures to be confirmed during the audit fieldwork beginning in late September. Council Member Jackson moved to adopt Ordinance 25-26, amending the budget for the 2024 fiscal year as set forth in attached Exhibit A identified as Fiscal Year 24-25 final budget amendment and to include the additional revenue line amendments to the Capital Improvement Fund budget as presented. Council Member Catten seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. Council Member Catten voted yes, Council Member DeSirant voted yes, Council Member Jackson voted yes, and Council Member Uipi voted yes. The motion passed unanimously 2.3 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 25-27, Adopting a Final Budget and Making Appropriations for the Support of Millcreek for the Time Period Beginning July 1, 2025, and Ending June 30, 2026 Lisa Dudley said the upcoming fiscal year's budget, last presented to the council on May 27, has undergone minimal changes, limited to the lines highlighted in yellow on her presentation, which reflect updates related to property tax revenue. Following the recent adoption of the certified tax rate (TC-693) by the council at a special meeting, a small adjustment of approximately $8,000 was made to align with the actual property tax figures-this minor variance is due to rounding and does not indicate a deficit. Initially, the budget included placeholder amounts for property tax revenue and new growth, pending release of the certified rate. Additionally, due to the activation of the tax increment for the MedTech Community keinvestment Area ((.:RA), prompted by the St. Mark's expansion and resulting in a $200 million increase in taxable valuation, the general fund will not receive the usual new growth revenue. Instead, that revenue is now allocated to the CRA. These updates are reflected as a reduction in general fund revenues Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 23 June 2025 Page 4 of 7 and a corresponding increase in the budgetary use of fund balance to maintain a balanced budget. All other budget lines remain unchanged from the last discussion.
