Milford special meeting moves into executive session to discuss FY2025–FY2026 operating budget

Participants at a Milford special meeting on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, voted unanimously to go into an executive session to discuss the municipality’s operating budget for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 and possible one-on-one meetings with employees.

A participant identified as Scott (role not specified) made the motion, saying, “I’ll make a motion to go into executive session.” Russell (role not specified) seconded, saying, “I’ll second.” The chair called the roll; Russell, Scott, Les, Ian and Terry voted yes and the motion passed unanimously. The public portion of the meeting then moved into private session.

The meeting’s opening remarks stated the stated purpose: “further discussion on operating budget fiscal year 2025, 2026, and possibly 1 on 1 sessions with employees,” and that the body would adjourn into executive session to consider those topics. Because the discussion took place in an executive session, no substantive deliberations or decisions from the closed portion are recorded in the public transcript.

The motion and unanimous vote were the only formal actions recorded in the public portion of the special meeting. The meeting agenda and remarks in the public record identify the two budget years and employee meetings as the topics to be discussed in private; the transcript does not record any further public detail on proposals, figures, or personnel matters.

No additional public votes or policy decisions were recorded before the meeting entered executive session. Any formal actions taken in the executive session must be reported in accordance with applicable public-meeting law and local rules if required; the public transcript does not include such follow-up.
