The city’s preliminary 2025 budget was presented to the council on Aug. 5, 2024, with planning assumptions of a 3% CPI and 1.3% growth and a proposed 2.5% employee raise. The Finance Officer said utilities figures were still to be determined and that further budget discussion is scheduled for the Sept. 9 meeting.
The Finance Officer also reported contact from Glenda Goens of the South Dakota Department of Legislative Audit: because the city's receipts exceed the $600,000 threshold, the city is in continuous audit status and the years 2022 and 2023 must be audited. Council did not authorize expenditures tied specifically to the audit at the meeting; the finance office will manage audit scheduling and reporting.
