2026 Annual Budget

Government Building Asset Internal Service Fund

Establishment: Council established the Building Fund in 1998. The scope of the fund was expanded in 2000 to include major repairs defined as those without which the building would be unusable for its intended purpose. It was further expanded in 2008 to include energy savings or green initiatives such as lighting upgrades, boiler modifications, etc. Description of Services: This fund finances the future purchase, major reconstruction, and additions to City owned buildings including City Hall, Library, Community Center, Ice Arena, Log Cabin, SandVenture, Public Works, Police, and Fire Stations. Financing to accomplish this is provided by "rental" payments from the operating departments at rates established annually by the Finance Department as part of the budget process. The Building Fund shall "own" and acquire these buildings. Accomplishments:  SandVenture construction was completed, and the facility was fully operational for the 2025 season.  Fire Station 1 underwent its first significant renovation since it was built in order to allow for dorm spaces for full time staff, and a reconfiguration of the existing office spaces.

Goals/Challenges: 

Aging infrastructure and rising inflation.

 Planning for the long-term use of city facilities as staff and equipment continues to evolve.  Fire Station 2 remodel to allow for dorm spaces in anticipation of hiring additional full-time staff.
