City of Oakdale
Overview
Oakdale's adopted FY2025 General Fund rose 5.2% to $23.36M with strong unassigned reserves of about $14.7M — roughly 63% of the following year's budget. Targeted 2026 purchases include body-worn cameras, IT network switches, and an asset management implementation. Starbridge rates the city 82/100 on spending readiness.
Budget Analysis
A levy increase and higher police/fire state aids supplement the General Fund growth. Unassigned reserves at about $14.7M (63% of next year's budget) provide healthy liquidity for targeted investments without straining operating capacity, per Starbridge data.
Capital Projects
Budgeted 2026 purchases include vehicle and equipment replacements, body-worn cameras and evidence storage, IT network switches, an asset management implementation, and service contracts. Each is a named procurement item with budget authority.
Procurement Outlook
Asset management implementation vendors, body camera providers, and network equipment suppliers match funded items directly. Oakdale's procurement posture favors mission-critical investments and modest IT/system upgrades that tie to specific budget allocations.
