# City of Republic - City Council Workshop - September 22 2026

At the City of Republic’s September 22, 2026, City Council workshop, staff presented a new monthly financial reporting package generated through the city’s Sage Intacct ERP implementation, covering results through June 30. Year-to-date revenues were about $2.1 million above budget, including roughly $1.5 million from nonrecurring items such as better-than-budgeted real estate sales and insurance proceeds. Operating expenses were about $604,000 under budget, while the capital surplus was approximately $4.6 million better than budget, primarily because of the timing of planned expenditures. Staff noted that sales-tax growth had improved in the first half of 2026 but had not yet been reflected in a revised forecast.

The presentation reviewed cash and funding for capital projects, including the wastewater treatment plant, the J.R. Martin park project, and a cellular-enabled advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) project estimated at $3 million, with the water share at $1.5 million. Staff explained that wastewater construction is funded through a mix of prior cash, grants including ARPA funds, and State Revolving Fund reimbursements; the AMI project is affecting utility cash balances. No contract award, procurement approval, spending motion, or vote was identified. Council members thanked staff for the reports and invited continued feedback on the package.
