The committee continued evaluating department requests for future capital funding but did not approve the specific requests at this meeting. Water officials said the ultrafiltration project cost increased by 50% because of market conditions, tariffs, and labor costs, with funding proposed from debt capital and a PFAS settlement account. Library representatives explained that the broader repair and renovation effort includes roof and HVAC-related work, while some lower-level room improvements will be considered in later years.
