Manasses Park Governing Body Approves FY26 A2 Budget Amendment

The Manasses Park Governing body held a public hearing and approved the fiscal year 2026 A2 budget amendment. The amendment addresses changes in revenue and expenditures, including the sale of the Kurandlay property, unanticipated contributions, real estate tax on Digital Drive, and increased healthcare and jail costs. The amendment results in a general fund surplus of $5.255 million and minor changes to enterprise funds. Key discussions included the impact of hiring new staff on healthcare costs, the allocation of revenue from property leases, and the rising costs associated with inmate incarceration, particularly due to a murder suspect requiring special treatment. Legislative priorities for future consideration were also discussed, focusing on state funding for violent felony costs. The body also approved a budget line for a new vehicle for an additional building inspector and discussed the Building Automation System for HVAC controls. The splashdown project is included in the CIP for fiscal year 27.
