The Dewey Public Works Authority is considering an amendment to the FY 2025-2026 budget that shifts 12850 from workers’ compensation transfers into operating lines for other services and fees, salaries and benefits, utilities, and lab testing. The amendment increases funding for utilities by 5000 and lab testing by 1000, as well as modest increases in wages, FICA, health insurance, and miscellaneous services. This adjustment indicates mid-year pressure in utility and testing costs, likely tied to water/wastewater and treatment facility operations.Vendors providing lab analysis, utility optimization, or cost-management services can view this as a signal that the Authority is experiencing higher-than-expected operating expenses and may be receptive to solutions that control ongoing lab and utility spend or provide more efficient services.

Expenditure increases include Other Services & Fees 1131.41, Salaries & Wages 4000, FICA 1014, Health Insurance 704.59, Utilities 5000, Lab Testing 1000.
