Copperton council approves 2025–26 tentative budget, schedules May public hearing
Summary
The Town Council approved a tentative 2025–26 budget that includes money for park improvements and a town centennial celebration and scheduled a public hearing for May before final adoption in June.
The Copperton Town Council on Wednesday approved a tentative budget for fiscal 2025–26 and scheduled a public hearing on the proposed plan for its May meeting.
Council members said the tentative plan keeps operating levels roughly the same as prior years while adding money for the town’s 100th‑anniversary celebration and capital work at the park, including sprinkler-system repairs and tree plantings. “We have money in there on our capital budget for improvements to the park, the sprinkling system, and again adding more trees,” a council member said during the meeting.
The resolution adopting the tentative budget specifies that the council will hold the required public hearing at the May meeting; the council noted that the final budget must be adopted by the end of June and said it prefers to leave a month for changes if public input requires adjustments. The council discussed pairing the May hearings on the budget and the fee schedule so any public comments can be considered before final action.
No specific dollar totals beyond the centennial allocation and the general description of capital items were stated during the motion. Council members moved and seconded the resolution and voted in favor; the formal hearing was set for May, with final adoption planned for June.
