Presiding officer called a Westville Town budget hearing to order at 6:30 p.m. to solicit public comment on the proposed 2026 budget and asked, “Is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on the 2026 budget?”

When no members of the public spoke, an identified participant (listed in the transcript as “K.”) said, “Being none, no comments, I will make a motion that we adjourn the budget hearing,” and the motion was made by Albert and seconded by Mr. Watkins. The roll-call that followed recorded affirmative votes from Mrs. Thorski (who initially said “No” then corrected to “Yes”), Mr. McMahon, Mr. Watkins and Mrs. Diehl. The presiding officer recorded that Albert voted yes and the meeting adjourned at 6:32 p.m.

The hearing provided the formal opportunity for public comment required as part of the budget process; according to the transcript, no comments were offered during that period. No statutes, ordinances, budget figures, amendments or other substantive budget deliberations were presented or discussed on the record during the hearing.

The action taken was limited to the procedural motion to adjourn the public hearing. There was no formal vote on the 2026 budget recorded in the transcript excerpt provided.

Meeting timing and participant notes: the hearing opened at 6:30 p.m. and adjourned at 6:32 p.m.; no public speakers were recorded. The transcript shows brief roll-call responses by named meeting participants and a shorthand speaker identified as “K.”
