# 2026-08-11 Regular Council Meeting

The City of DuPont regular Council meeting, listed for August 11, 2026 (recording metadata: August 12 UTC), included a financial review to inform the 2027 budget process. The finance consultant reported that the General Fund reserve balance ended 2025 at 23%, below the city’s 30% combined reserve target, and could reach about 29% by the end of 2026 before potential retroactive police and fire contract costs. The presentation noted that police and fire compensation remains a significant budget uncertainty; hypothetical contract-cost estimates were discussed, but no contract terms were approved. Staff also cautioned that sales-tax receipts tied to construction are variable and should not be assumed as ongoing revenue. Street Fund revenues and expenses were below budget because grant-funded capital projects had not yet proceeded, with grant revenue dependent on project spending. Council requested that department heads attend future budget discussions and that the stormwater fund’s possible use for sidewalk improvements be addressed at a future meeting.

The Council discussed a possible six-month data-center development moratorium to allow time for study and potential revisions to development regulations; staff said there were no current applications and planned a public hearing and possible ordinance adoption for September 8. No procurement actions, contract awards, vendor selections, bid approvals, or spending motions were identified. The agenda and amended consent agenda were approved; no vote on a purchase or funding allocation was reported.
