Moses Lake 2025 budget projected at $119 million

MOSES LAKE — The city of Moses Lake is projected to spend about $119.62 million in 2025, an increase of about $13 million from 2024. That includes an increase of about $8 million in capital projects. The preliminary budget was presented to the Moses Lake City Council at its regular meeting Tuesday; city residents will have a chance to comment on it during a public hearing at the Nov. 26 council meeting. Balancing the 2025 budget will require a transfer from the city’s reserve funds. City Finance Director Madeline Prentice said during the budget presentation that the projected city revenue is about $107 million. That will require the transfer of about $15.87 million from the reserves to balance the budget.
