Part of our responsibility of providing superior municipal services to our community includes using our resources wisely and maintaining a balanced budget. The operating budget is a planning document outlining the uses of the City’s monetary resources. The Mayor, Board of Aldermen, and Staff have been in the planning process for the past month creating the FY2021 Operating Budget for the fiscal year that begins January 1.
The current FY2020 Operating Budget, with amendments, supported nearly $30.6 million in expenditures and is estimated to end overall under budget 19.5%, a majority of which consists of capital projects that will be re-budgeted, or carried over, to FY2021. The past eight months have been conflicted with the COVID pandemic and has influenced City finances. In April, an operational spending plan was amended as result of anticipated financial challenges due to the pandemic. It was estimated early in the pandemic a need for a 15% decrease for FY2020 revenues, all sources, equating to nearly $1.5 million dollars. This required nearly $580,000 in expenditures to be cut and a use of nearly $920,000 in reserves to be used. However, as we moved through the summer months those targets were adjusted to meet more positive financial change, compared to what was anticipated. As we end the FY2020 year, excluding one-time revenues that follow capital purchases and projects to be re-budgeted in FY2021, on-going revenues are estimated to come in less than 1% overall.
The FY2021 Operating Budget remains in preparation with the completion anticipated in the upcoming weeks. As it stands, the current draft for FY2021 supports nearly $30.1 million in expenditures, all funds. The Mayor and Board of Aldermen will be presented with a final draft for the FY2021 Operating Budget in December for adoption. A public hearing will precede the first reading request.
City staff is dedicated to being good stewards to our community and will continue to operate efficiently to deliver superior municipal services to our citizens and visitors. And we want to hear from our community. Please stay engaged through our social media pages as well as our website, never miss any information by signing up for all City alerts at www.osagebeach.org.

Winter weather is upon us and can be potentially hazardous as Missouri typically experiences
periods of extreme cold during the winter. It is important to be prepared!
Here is an interactive map of Warming Center Sites in Missouri, it is mobile friendly and searchable by county. On the map, each warming center site indicates their address, phone number, hours of operation, whether the site is ADA accessible and if transportation is provided to the site.
This interactive map is a collaborative effort between the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and the United Way 2‐1‐1 and is updated in real time as the most accurate and up to date information regarding warming centers is received from our state‐wide partners.
It is important to remember that the extreme cold can affect everyone, but can be especially
dangerous to small children, the elderly and the chronically ill. Warming centers provide a
warm, safe place for people to go during cold weather.

LETS COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY AND SHOW OUR SUPPORT
FOR FRONT LINE WORKERS!
|
|
Front line workers are working harder than ever and have been fighting this pandemic for months. We are seeing an increase of COVID inpatients again and workers could use some community support and encouragement. Our front-line medical workers, teachers and administrators, grocery workers and more are working hard to help patients, keep schools open, and keep supplies available.
All of the health care workers, Police, EMS, and firefighters are still being faced daily with this disease, risking contact themselves and having extra burdens of precaution placed upon them. Can we show all these frontline workers some support as a community?
How you can help:
-
Place Ribbons at Home – Place the appropriate colors for you to show support or that you are a frontline worker or school faculty member at home (see ribbons below). Trees, mailboxes, windows, sidewalk chalk are all options.
-
Place Ribbons at Work – Encourage your business to place white ribbons on trees, windows, signage, etc. Show our frontline workers that your business is thinking and appreciative of them.
-
Share the message – tell others, post on Facebook and check out Lake Regional Hospitals Facebook page starting November 16th
-
Make it Personal – As you share the message, feel free to add why or how it has affected you, what you’re facing today, add pictures of ribbons that you may place.
