City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: September 14, 2026
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Sully Jusino, Finance Director
Subject: Resolution 2026-075: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept and
Appropriate Community Assistance Program Funds in the Amount of
$109,972.43 for the Purpose of Capital Projects Related to Fire, Public
Safety, and Road Maintenance
Background and justification:
The Community Assistance Program (CAP), formerly known as Community Revenue Sharing,
provides funding to municipalities that provide services such as police and fire protection, water
and sewer, and public road maintenance.
The State Revenue sharing funds have become 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.
The program is funded by state budget appropriations. Because allocation of program funds was
not anticipated, the City of Seward FY 25/26 operating budget did not contain budgeted revenue
for the funds.
For FY27 the City of Seward has received notification of the CAP for payment in the amount of
$109,972.43.
CAP funds in the amount of $109,972.43 will be appropriated to the General Fund and will be
transferred to the Capital Acquisition Fund in accordance with the City's budget policy.
