REPORT OF COMMITTEES/COMMISSION/CONTRACTORS Financial Consultant Dave Watson presented the March 2026 financial report, reviewing cash on hand, fund balances, revenues, and expenditures. He reported that the City’s cash balance increased to approximately $2.7 million. Revenues were higher than last year due mainly to the timing of property tax payments, while sales tax remained steady. Overall expenses were lower than in the same period last year, with some increases in park maintenance and decreases in resident services due to less snow removal. The city brought in about $230,000 more than it spent during the quarter, remaining in line with the 2026 budget. Park Committee Report: Cindy Cornelius reported that the Easter Egg Hunt was well attended and received positive feedback despite the weather.
