ITEM: 5C
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026
PREPARED BY: Jason Etter and Nicole Klekner
PRESENTED BY: Nicole Klekner, Finance Director
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Approving 2026 Budget Amendments
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider budget amendments for the General Fund, Capital
Park Fund, Revolving Equipment Fund, Revolving Park Equipment Fund, Facilities Management
Fund, Water, Stormwater, and Sewer Funds. The primary purpose is to carry forward the funding
and expenditures associated with certain uncompleted projects to 2026 when the expenditures
will be incurred and to adjust a budget where costs are now known. Staff are recommending the
carry forward of expenditures and funding in the amount of $1,798,782 for 2026.
BACKGROUND:
The 2025 budget was adopted on December 9, 2024. Some of the items contained in that
document were not completed in 2025 and must therefore be moved to the 2026 budget so they
can be completed with the original funding allocation. These amendments do NOT increase or
decrease the tax levy for either 2025 or 2026. The funding source for the budget amendments is
fund reserves of the respective funds. See the budget amendment detail table shown below.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
To accurately reflect expenditure and funding on the financial reports and for the year ending
12/31/2026, the budget should be amended as follows:
Fund- Net 2026 Budget
Expenditures/(Revenues) Amendment
General Fund $72,352

185,000

RESOLUTION 26-
RESOLUTION APPROVING 2026 BUDGET AMENDMENTS
Motion By: Second By:
WHEREAS, the 2025 and 2026 budgets were adopted on December 10, 2024 and
December 9, 2025, respectively. Some of the items contained in the 2025
budget were not completed in 2025 and must therefore be moved to the 2026
budget so they can be completed with the original funding allocation; and
WHEREAS, the 2026 budget does not reflect expenditures and funding of $1,798,782 for the
carryforward of projects/items that could not be completed due to timing
constraints and staffing issues. The services were not performed or goods were
not received so the projects were not completed in 2025. Therefore, the
expenditure budget will be carried forward to the 2026 budgets by fund as
detailed in the agenda report.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE,
MINNESOTA as follows:
1. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein.
2. The 2026 Budgets are amended to reflect the expenditures as noted above.
3. Funding will be provided by the respective Fund reserves.
