Woodruff board approves FY2026 budget; minutes and bills also approved
Summary
At a regular Woodruff Town Board meeting, members unanimously approved the town's minutes, its fiscal year 2026 budget and a batch of bills. Motions carried after brief discussion and questions about road and grant timing.
The Woodruff Town Board voted on three routine items at the meeting: approval of minutes from the prior meeting, adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026 budget and payment of outstanding bills.
The board first approved the minutes after a motion and second; members responded "Aye," and the chair said the motion carried. Next, the board approved the FY2026 budget after a motion, a second and an affirmative vote. Board members discussed potential amendments before the next month related to road work timing and whether road invoices might be due this fiscal year; the board agreed the accountants would advise on amending FY2025 if payments are required before July. Finally, the board moved to pay the bills; the motion passed following a second and an affirmative vote.
Board members noted grant timing for pavilion work and that some road work contractor bills (JBAR) had not yet arrived; the board discussed using appropriate fund balances for water- and road-related work and flagged that an amendment to FY2025 might be needed if payment falls before the fiscal year end.
The board also heard updates on routine operational matters including meter replacements, rodeo sanctioning and other community events.
