Votes at a glance: finance committee closes FY26 budget hearing, issues positive recommendation
Summary
During the finance committee session the council voted to close the FY26 budget public hearing, issued a positive recommendation on the FY26 budget orders, and adjourned both the finance committee and full council; recorded roll calls are summarized below.
Several formal motions and roll‑call votes were recorded at the conclusion of the FY26 budget hearings and the finance committee meeting.
Close public hearing
- Motion: "Move to close the public hearing." - Mover: Councilor Moulton; Second: Councilor LaBarge. - Recorded roll call on that motion (sample from transcript): Councilor Maiori — Yes; Councilor Moulton — Yes; Councilor Elkins — Yes; Councilor LaBarge — Yes. The motion carried.
Positive recommendation on FY26 budget orders
- Motion: Positive recommendation on the general fund and five enterprise orders (water, sewer, stormwater, solid waste, revolving funds). - Mover: Councilor Elkins (moved positive recommendations); Second: Councilor Moulton (second recorded elsewhere). - Recorded roll call excerpts: Councilor Moulton — Yes; Councilor Elkins — Yes; Councilor LaBarge — Yes; Councilor Maiori — No. The committee reported the motion passed with a positive recommendation and planned a fuller council discussion the following evening.
Adjournment votes
- Motion to adjourn the finance committee and then the full council were moved and seconded; roll calls were recorded and the motions passed. Transcript excerpts show multiple councilors voting Yes during the final roll calls (for example: Councilor Dobbs — Yes; Councilor Elkins — Yes; Councilor Jarrett — Yes; Councilor Klemmer — Yes; Councilor LaBarge — Yes; Councilor Maiori — Yes; Councilor Moulton — Yes). One councilor (Mayuri) recorded a No on the positive recommendation vote.
Why it matters: the finance committee’s positive recommendation advances the FY26 budget to the full council for final consideration. The votes recorded in the hearing set the committee’s recommendation and schedule for the subsequent council meeting.
