Walled Lake holds public hearing on FY 2026–27 budget; adoption set for June 17
Summary
City manager presented preliminary FY 2026–27 budget numbers showing about $13 million in revenue and $12 million in expenditures; council will consider adoption at a later meeting after review.
The Walled Lake City Council opened a public hearing on the proposed fiscal-year 2026–27 budget and heard a brief presentation from City Manager Witt on the document the city has developed after three budget workshops.
Witt told the council the document being reviewed represents "pretty much the final numbers" from the manager's three budget workshops but asked council members to take another review because formal adoption will not occur at this meeting. He said the city is looking at roughly $13,000,000 in revenue and about $12,000,000 in expenditures, producing a modest surplus that the manager said would support essential services.
"We do ask that you guys take one more look through. If there's any questions or anything that needs to be addressed, we won't have the adoption for the budget for you until the June 17 meeting," Witt said.
No formal action or vote on the budget occurred at the meeting; council members did not raise specific objections during the hearing and the council closed the public hearing to move to other agenda items.
Ending: Staff will provide any requested clarifications ahead of the June 17 meeting, when the council is scheduled to consider adoption of the FY 2026–27 budget.
