Moses Lake City Council approved a budget adjustment on July 10, 2026, reallocating $150,000 from the general fund to public safety initiatives. The decision was made during a study session and regular meeting held on July 10.
The funds will support upgrades to emergency response equipment and additional training for public safety personnel. Council members cited rising operational costs and the need to maintain current service levels as key factors in the decision.
The budget reallocation requires no additional voter approval and will be implemented immediately upon council approval. The council will review the impact of these changes at its next meeting on August 14, 2026.
