The Tuttle City Council on Dec. (date not specified) adopted Resolution 2024-14, approving the city s fiscal year 2025 budget after a staff summary and a brief public hearing.
The budget summary presented to the council noted one post-workshop change: an increase of $103,000 to cover an ARPA-funded lift station rehabilitation project. City staff said that increase was offset by lower planned ARPA spending elsewhere and that the rest of the budget remained largely as presented in the October workshop.
The change was included in a total budget figure read into the record by staff (figure read verbatim in the meeting transcript as "19,000,000,000 182,549"). Council members asked questions during the summary about planning, retail recruitment, and capital projects such as street maintenance, cemetery work, lagoon dredging and utility capital projects. Staff described priorities including economic development, comprehensive planning, and continued utility and public-safety funding as the community grows.
After the public hearing (opened and then closed within the meeting after staff summary), a motion to adopt Resolution 2024-14 was moved and seconded on the floor. The motion passed unanimously with Council Member Dixon, Council Member Buck, Council Member Hughes, Council Member Watson and Mayor McLeroy voting yes.
The council s action formalizes the allocations discussed in public and places language authorizing staff to implement the projects and adjustments described in the staff summary. Staff indicated further project-level decisions (for example, exact cemetery columbarium location and timing of certain capital outlays) will return for more detailed planning or board review.
No additional public comment was recorded during the hearing portion of the meeting, and the council closed the hearing before taking the vote.
