Stonecrest council votes to allow public comments before FY26 budget presentation
Summary
The Stonecrest council amended tonight’s agenda to permit public comment before the FY26 budget presentation; the motion passed unanimously, 5–0.
The Stonecrest City Council voted unanimously Nov. 10 to amend the evening’s agenda to allow members of the public to speak before the presentation of the proposed FY26 budget.
Councilwoman Tammy Grimes moved to add the public‑comment period before the budget presentation; the motion carried 5–0. Mayor Pro Tem announced the change at the start of the meeting and confirmed the council would hear public comments on the proposed FY26 budget at this session.
The procedural change does not alter statutory notice requirements for future hearings; it simply establishes an opportunity for citizens to address the budget at tonight’s meeting. No written public comments were read into the record prior to the discussion.
Next steps: the council proceeded with the night’s agenda, including a monthly finance report and substantive budget discussion led by the city manager and finance director.
