Hopkinsville council adopts 2025–26 surface and stormwater utility budget
Summary
The council approved the Hopkinsville surface and stormwater utility budget for FY 2025–26 as presented under Hopkinsville Code of Ordinances §54.921; some council members asked about committee review and suggested tightening certain line items given current economic conditions.
Hopkinsville City Council on July 1 approved the fiscal year 2025–26 budget for the city’s surface and stormwater utility.
The municipal order was presented pursuant to Section 54.921 of the Hopkinsville Code of Ordinances. A council member asked why the budget had not appeared in hard copy at the committee-of-the-whole meeting; staff said the material had been shown on the meeting screen but not printed for every packet. The council member said he felt he had been "flying kind of blind" during the committee meeting and suggested some line items could be tightened given economic conditions.
Council member Travis moved the municipal order and Council member Amy seconded; the council approved the budget by voice vote. The meeting transcript records brief discussion and the council's approval by "aye."
Staff did not provide further line-item detail in the council record at this meeting; council members requested more complete packet materials for future committee meetings so members can review numbers in advance.
The municipal order passed, and the surface and stormwater utility budget will be administered under existing code provisions.
