During a recent government meeting, board members expressed significant concerns regarding the approval of the preliminary budget, ultimately leading to its rejection. The discussion highlighted the inclusion of a 0.93 mills adjustment in the special reserve levy, which was confirmed to be an amendment made after the preliminary budget was reviewed.

Board member Missus Wheeler emphasized the need for more time to review the budget, noting that receiving it just three days before the deadline was insufficient for thorough consideration. This sentiment was echoed by other members, who raised various questions and concerns about the budget's details.

As the motion to approve the budget was put to a vote, it faced unanimous opposition from the board members present. The motion failed, prompting the chairman to announce plans to coordinate a special meeting with Mister Renner to address the budget issues by Wednesday. This decision underscores the board's commitment to ensuring adequate time for review and discussion before finalizing the budget.
