Council sets July 8 budget referendum and amends ballot wording to note revised budget
Summary
The council set a July 8, 2025, budget referendum and approved an amended ballot question wording to indicate the budget was revised and adopted by the town council.
Richmond’s Town Council set July 8, 2025, as the date for the municipal budget referendum and approved revised ballot wording that inserts the word “revised” to clarify which budget is before voters.
Staff confirmed July 8 (8 a.m.–8 p.m.) as the referendum date and noted July 4 holiday timing concerns led to the choice of the July 8 date. Councilors also approved a motion to add the word “revised” in the ballot question so it will read in substance: “Shall the Richmond municipal budget for fiscal year 25–26, as revised and adopted by the Richmond Town Council, be approved?” The council approved the date and amended wording by roll-call votes.
