Raymore City Council received a budget update and follow‑up items during the work session.
Finance and public works staff confirmed the city has locked Friday, July 3 as the date for the community fireworks display this year. Staff recapped previously discussed line items and said the general fund shows an available balance of about $61,503 after current reservations for events, amphitheater performances, holiday lighting and equipment replacements.
Staff also reported an available enterprise fund balance of approximately $2,000,293. Council discussed moving some items that are enterprise‑related—such as a payment kiosk for utility payments—into the enterprise fund; staff noted ongoing kiosk costs are not yet known.
Public works staff described a mowing/street‑sweeper hybrid machine under consideration and said the city may rent a unit for a demonstration. "The recommendation may be for 1 year, it's actually pretty cheap to rent it," staff said, adding an example rental cost of about $3,000 per week for demonstration use. Staff said a potential budget amendment could be brought forward before spring after the demo, depending on price and operational considerations.
Council confirmed the trail segment south of Foxtrot Drive to North Cass has been budgeted and is funded. With no further business on the budget, the council moved to the next agenda items and adjourned.
No formal motions or votes were recorded on budget appropriations at this meeting; staff will return with any recommended budget amendments and follow‑up information.
