Summary
At a regular meeting at City Hall, the Corinne City Council unanimously approved the city's 2026 budget, adjusted the 2025 budget, adopted changes to the fee schedule and passed two ordinances after public hearings.
The Corinne City Council on an evening at City Hall approved the citys 2026 budget, adopted fiscal-year 2025 adjustments, updated the fee schedule and passed two ordinances following public hearings.
Council members unanimously approved Resolution 25-01, the 2026 budget, and voted to adopt adjustments to the fiscal year 2025 budget. The council also approved Resolution 25-02, which updates the city fee schedule, and enacted Ordinance 25-03 (surplus property) and Ordinance 25-04 (animal control amendments). The votes on the ordinance and resolution items were recorded as "motion carries, unanimous." Specific roll-call tallies were not provided in the transcript.
The fee schedule changes adopted include a new City Hall rental fee of $35 per hour, increasing the excavation permit fee from $25 to $100, and an update to the garbage fee identified as section 15. The transcript records that the fee changes were made "because of the amount of time that it takes for Kelly to go take care of that," but does not provide further cost-analysis or budgetary projections.
Council discussion on Ordinance 25-04 clarified that the animal-control amendments under consideration address dog-related rules; a different ordinance governs livestock and will be brought back separately for consideration. Council members noted no additional substantive edits at the public hearings and closed each hearing before voting to adopt the measures.
Council also moved to approve the fiscal-year 2025 budget adjustments; staff indicated the adjustments were "the same as last" with no further changes specified in the meeting record.
The meeting included routine reports (sheriff's department, planning commission) and approval of vendor and payroll checks. Several vendor payments were read into the record during the checks approval, including a payment to Grover Excavation of $87,087.50 for work on 5200 West, and other routine operating expenses.
Actions taken at the meeting were presented and voted on in open session and recorded as approved by unanimous voice vote where noted. The council chair closed the meeting after moving to adjourn.
