Budget Report  
JPSSPTC Budget Report  
A.  
ITD/BLD Exec. Dir. Fahnestock provided the FY2025 Budget report. He stated  
the Fund is healthy with an unrestricted balance of $1,839,409. He projects  
there will be $1,612, 647 in revenue for 2025 from sales tax, and $45K in  
interest while using $214,834 to balance the 2025 budget. He recommends  
keeping 25% of the budget as a reserve in the fund of $459,852.25 at a  
minimum. This would leave the fund balance at $1,379,556.75. Fahnestock  
noted that $214,834 will be used to balance this year's budget primarily due to  
additional support staff. He stated that revenue expenses are at $1,872,481 and  
balanced for 2025. An additional $225K will be needed for years 2026 and 2027.  
Fahnestock addressed questions and comments from the Commission. Much  
discussion ensued.
