City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: May 27, 2025
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Sully Jusino, Finance Director
Subject: Resolution 2025-051: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept and
Appropriate Community Assistance Program Funds in the Amount of
$106,166.21 for the Purpose of Capital Projects Related to Fire, Public
Safety, and Road Maintenance
Background and justification:
The Community Assistance Program, formerly known as Community Revenue Sharing, provides
funding to municipalities that provide services such as fire protection, water and sewer, public
road maintenance, and solid waste management.
The program is funded by state budget appropriations. Because allocation of program funds was
not anticipated, the City of Seward FY23_24 operating budget did not contain budgeted revenue
for the funds.
The State Revenue sharing funds have become more uncertain over time and to avoid factoring
one — time uncertain revenues into the City's operating budget, the City has operated under a
policy of utilizing one-time revenues to fund capital needs. Community Assistance Program
Funds in the amount of $106,166.21 will be appropriated to the General Fund and will be
transferred to the Capital Acquisition Fund in accordance with the City's budget policy.
