Continuing story: Auditing Farr West
The Farr West City Council approved adjustments to its fiscal 2025-26 budget on June 18, 2026, on a roll call in which all five members voted aye. The minutes record no public comments at the hearing. [2]
The minutes describe the changes as cleanup adjustments that increased sales tax and grant budgets, accounted for storm water expenses, formally established the transportation utility fee fund budget and carried over $100,000 for plow truck implements. [2]
The general fund
The amendment worksheet in the packet raises budgeted grant revenue from $500,000 to $1,500,000 and raises a trails and road grant expenditure line from zero to $1,000,000. It also raises budgeted utilities from $42,000 to $87,000. [1]
The transportation utility fund
The worksheet adds $400,500 of revenue and the same amount of expenditures to the transportation utility fund: $400,000 of fee revenue and $500 of interest. [1]
For fiscal 2026-27, the final budget worksheet budgets the fund at $365,000 and notes "NO PROPOSED INCREASE - $7 CURRENT RATE." The minutes say the fee remains $7. [1][2]
Asset replacement
In the asset replacement fund, the worksheet raises budgeted expenditures from $200,000 to $300,000 for a plow truck equipment purchase, with $100,000 of added revenue. [1]
Amended budget figures are authority to spend, not a record of money received or spent.
