 M. ATH2025-211 Authorization to amend the FY 2026 Adopted Water and Sewer Fund 
Budget to increase the Water Distribution departmental budget in the amount of 
$50,000.00 to provide additional funding for sewer outfall clearing.  
Citywide 
 
Mike L. Jones, City Administrator, provided the following background: 
  
The FY 2026 Adopted budget for the Water and Sewer fund included $65,000.00 for 
sewer outfall clearing. The Water department has hired a contractor to complete this 
work for the City. A portion of the work is completed, and a request was made for an 
additional $50,000.00 to be added to the budget for additional work. Because these 
have been ignored over the years, these funds will probably still not be the full amount 
needed.
