# City Council Mid-Year Budget Review Workshop Meeting 11/9/2026

The City of Eureka Springs’ Mid-Year Budget Review Workshop on November 9, 2026, reviewed proposed amendments to the 2026 budget. The largest capital-related adjustment was approximately $1.2 million for the Black Bass Dam project, with matching revenue and expenses added in anticipation of breaking ground; any unspent funds would carry over to 2027. The review also covered $117,000 spent to date on the Music Park rehabilitation and a $100,000 sidewalk project funded with $80,000 from the state and $20,000 from the city. A $15,000 allocation for a GIS project with Mlen Engineers was discussed, along with a $70,000 prior-year grant and an anticipated $80,000 grant supporting sidewalk work. The council discussed the proposed budget resolution, but no vote or passage is captured in the transcript.

Other spending topics included IT services from Pinnacle: the city pays about $3,000 monthly for dedicated on-site support, while the total annual cost of its broader IT services was estimated at well over $100,000. Officials cited support, backups, and cybersecurity as reasons for the expense. The workshop also reviewed increased audit and legal-service costs, contracted public-restroom cleaning, and water and sewer budget changes; an 8% water-rate increase was noted. No new contract award or procurement approval is recorded in the transcript.
