Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution amends the 2026 Adopted Operating Budget for the Community Development Division (CDD) to reflect up to $328,920 in new grant revenue and corresponding expenditures in the Other Grants Fund (Fund 1220). The grant terms call for in-kind grant matching contributions from the City totaling approximately $90,000 in 2026. These matching funds are available within CDD's 2026 Adopted Operating Budget.
A separate resolution will be submitted to create the 1.5 LTE Program and Outreach Coordinator positions. The positions will be fully funded by the grant in 2026. The estimated cost for salary and benefits of the positions in 2026 is $100,819 (estimated an April 1 start date). The estimated annual cost for the positions is $134,425.
The level of funding from the grantor gradually declines over the subsequent three years of the grant period (2027 - 2029). If the Program is to continue, funding from the City General Fund or other sources will be needed to offset those reductions. Any additional City funding required to meet those obligations in 2027, 2028, and 2029, will require authorization from the Common Council through the City’s standard operating budget process for each of those years. This includes continued authorization for the 1.5 LTE Program & Outreach Coordinator positions. Once the grant period is over, the program will be evaluated to determine if it will continue. If CDD wishes to continue the program, the agency will need to request the funds through the standard operating budget process.
Under the proposed amendment, CDD's 2026 Adopted Operating Budget will be amended to reflect the following increases in revenues and expenditures in the Other Grants Fund:
Revenue: $328,920
Salaries and Benefits Expenditures: $153,920
Purchased Services and/or Supplies Expenditures: $175,000
The proposed resolution further authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement with the grantor organization (Oscar Rennebohm Fou...
