Brian Head council adopts FY2026 amended budget, redirects ~$339,000 to one‑time capital needs

The Brian Head Town Council adopted an amended fiscal year 2026 budget on June 23 that incorporates an oversight of roughly $339,000 in capital fund balances and directs that money toward one‑time capital purchases.

Town Treasurer Shane Williamson presented the correction to the council, saying staff had identified "approximately $339,000 in capital fund balances remaining from completed or expired projects" that had not been included in the budget documents. He recommended using the funds for one‑time capital purchases including public safety equipment and tools, a transportation utility fee study, an elected officials board, guardrail improvements, and drainage projects, and placing any remainder in a dedicated capital fund line item for tracking.

Council Member Larry Freeberg moved to adopt Ordinance No. 26‑010 amending the FY2026 Town budget; Council Member Logan Cruz seconded. The motion carried 4‑0 (Freeberg, Cruz, Tidwell and Mayor Clayton Calloway voting yes; Council Member Duane Nyen absent).

The ordinance formalizes the accounting correction and authorizes staff to reallocate the identified capital balances to the specified one‑time needs. Town Treasurer Shane Williamson also noted that the amendment followed earlier public safety grant adjustments discussed at a prior public hearing.

The council did not change ongoing operating rates in this action; the adjustments are confined to one‑time capital allocations identified in the amended budget. The council meeting record shows the ordinance was adopted as presented; no amendments to the motion were recorded.
