REVIEW AND DISCUSSION ABOUT FY 2025/2026 BUDGET
Chief Resilience Officer, Jenny Coelho presented the budget during the workshop. She explained that she used last year's budget figures because the current year's budget is not yet finalized, with financials pulled through March 31, 2026. Beginning with the General Fund, she reported that it is currently within budget. The Library Fund is showing a negative balance because the City has been covering the remaining power bill expenses. The Friends of the Library provided the City of Tulelake with only a $500 check toward the electric bill. She also noted that the Police Department budget must be updated because the contract with the City of Bonanza did not move forward, requiring a deduction of $51,850. The Public Works budget is currently in good standing due to insurance funds eceived from the shop that burned down. Additionally, Siskiyou County still owes money to the City of Tulelak Ithough the exact amount is unknown current!
