7.1 General Updates
Mr. Mollan gave an update on working with the Center for Energy and Environment to administer an

9. WORK SESSION
9.1 Workshop on 2026 Budget
Mr. O'Neil gave an overview of the proposed budget changes including options for increasing
destination marketing budget, contributing to land acquisition, and hiring a consultant to represent the
City at retail trade shows.
Mr. O'Neil reviewed the idea of adding $100,000 to the budget for land acquisition to be prepared for
future land purchase opportunities. $5,000 was proposed to be added to the Public Art budget.
Commissioner Blesener stated that $100,000 for land acquisition seemed like a small number. Mr.
O'Neil responded that the goal would be to continue to add to the fund each year so that the EDA has
funds available as properties become available for development. The intention is to build up the fund to
make some large purchases in the future or work on properties to make them development ready.
Commissioner Calva stated he was not a fan of attending conventions and felt most engagement
happened online now.
Chair Westgaard added that it was a good idea to continue to add a yearly amount to the land
Page 3 of 22

Page 3 of 4
acquisition fund and make it part of each year's budget. He questioned how large of a balance the
commission should carry and if they could justify it.
Commissioner Wagner agreed that the EDA needed to acquire more viable land inventory. She stated
that the Commission needs to have more planning discussions on what type of land they may want to
acquire and for what purpose, particularly along Highways 10 and 169. She felt the commission needs to
prove to the Council and residents that an increase in the budget is warranted.
Commissioner Calva would like to see price tags on potential plats of land.
President Westgaard requested an alternative layout for the budget documents. Mr. O'Neil stated that
he could work with the new budget software to create something that is easier to read.
The Commission agreed that it is easier to ask for an increase in the budget if they had homework to
back it up. There will be community changes coming within the next few years and the Commission can
use the next year to determine what they are looking toward and how to justify the cost.
10. MOTION TO ADJOURN
Moved by Commissioner Beyer and seconded by Commissioner Wagner to adjourn the
meeting. Motion carried 7-0.
The meeting adjourned at 6:08 p.m.

Item Number
7.1
Meeting Date
August 18, 2025
Prepared By
Brent O'Neil, Economic Development Director
Item Description
2026 Budget Resolution
Reviewed by
Cal Portner
Action Requested
Approve, by motion, the attached resolution adopting the budget for 2026 and recommending $429,850 for
inclusion in the 2026 levy.
Background/Discussion
Following the budget workshop, adjustments have been made to the 2026 budget as presented for adoption.
The proposed expenditures for 2026 total $514,350 as compared to $456,000 for 2025, an increase of 12.8%.
Many items remain flat or see modest changes. Marketing has the most notable change, with a net increase of
$41,900 accounting for $30,000 in retail lead generation, $35,000 in destination marketing, and small
decreases in other marketing areas. Some items have been reassigned to budget lines that better correspond
to the activity, the most notable moving the wetland credit banking line from Miscellaneous to Land. The
proposed line focusing on land acquisition is not included following budget workshop feedback.
For revenue, interest income has been coming in strong in the current rate environment, as well as from a
stronger cash position due to recent land sales and budget savings. With interest income proposed at $80,000
and other revenue of $4,500, a levy of $429,850 is needed to balance the budget. This is a year-over-year
increase of $2,850, or 0.7%.
Financial Impact
Approval of this item sets the budget for 2026 at $514,350 and recommends to the City Council that
$429,850 be included in the Preliminary Levy which will be considered in September.
Mission/Policy/Goal
The EDA adopts its annual budget prior to Sept. 30 each year.
