Town council adopts pay ordinance and approves FY 2026 tentative budget
Summary
Interlaken Town Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 16 amending elected/appointed-official compensation and approved the fiscal year 2026 tentative budget after a public hearing; both votes were unanimous and council scheduled further hearings on administrator compensation and truth-in-taxation.
Interlaken Town Council voted unanimously June 3 to adopt Ordinance No. 16, amending compensation for elected and appointed town officials, and to approve the town’s fiscal year 2026 tentative budget.
The votes followed public hearings held earlier in the meeting. Council members spoke briefly before each roll call; no recorded dissent appeared in the meeting transcript. The council also announced that a second public hearing will be scheduled in July to set administrator compensation and that the truth-in-taxation hearing will take place in August once mill rates are set.
Ordinance No. 16 was presented and opened for final action; council members approved it without further amendment. The council then heard the FY 2026 tentative budget, which incorporated a few small changes related to road repairs. A motion to adopt the tentative budget passed unanimously, and the council noted upcoming dates: a truth-in-taxation hearing in August and a final budget adoption deadline of Aug. 17.
Council members did not quantify votes by name in the minutes; the meeting record notes the outcomes as unanimous. No changes to appropriations beyond those noted for road repairs were recorded during the adoption of the tentative budget. The council directed that the July meeting include further discussion of administrator pay and gave staff instructions to publish hearing notices so residents know the sequence (public hearing followed immediately by the council meeting).
The meeting packet and minutes posted with the council’s records are expected to include the final ordinance text and the budget documents cited during the hearing.
The council also approved routine meeting business earlier in the evening, including adoption of the meeting agenda and minutes without recorded substantive amendment.
