The Depoe Bay City Council voted to adopt the fiscal year 2025-26 budget and make appropriations under Resolution 585-25 after staff walked the council through recent changes and supplemental line items.
City Recorder/Administrator Mary told the council she added a $25,000 line item for engineering to support preparation of a Community Renewable Energy grant and explained several other fund-specific adjustments, including added harbor grant revenue and a fish-point structural inspection expense. "I added $25,000 for engineering to support the work for the community renewable energy grant," Mary said.
The council also voted to accept the state shared revenue plan under Resolution 584-25 and to adopt the capital improvement plan tied to Resolution 583-25 (the council opened and closed a single public hearing covering those items). Mayor (presiding officer) moved for adoption; motions were seconded and carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
In presenting the budget changes, Mary noted adjustments in the parks and recreation capital outlay to reflect an updated parks master-plan cost breakdown, an added $10,000 placeholder for harbor platform connector repairs, and a proposed approximately $9,000 allocation for a utility terrain vehicle for harbor code enforcement. She also reported updated water enterprise capital estimates, adding design and construction dollars for Shell Avenue and revising Williams Avenue upgrade design costs.
Councilors thanked staff for the line-by-line review of the large document; one councilor remarked that the absence of public testimony suggested broad community support. The formal motion to adopt the fiscal 2025-26 budget and make appropriations as Resolution 585-25 passed.
Less-transformative technical adjustments, including operating contingency reconciliations and fund-specific reclassifications, were noted as administrative clarifications that do not change the adopted appropriation totals.
The council did not assign additional conditions to the adopted budget during the meeting. Staff said placeholders would not be spent unless projects (for example, the renewable-energy grant application) move forward.
