Summary
At its November meeting the Talking Rock council approved October meeting minutes and the October financial report by voice vote, noted upcoming bank-account changes, and formally posted the proposed 2026 budget for a 30-day public comment period ahead of a Dec. 11 public hearing and vote.
The Talking Rock Town Council opened its November meeting with routine business and approved two procedural items before moving to the 2026 budget presentation.
Speaker 3 moved to accept the October 2025 meeting minutes; Speaker 4 seconded and the motion was approved by voice vote. Speaker 4 then moved to accept the October financial report; the motion carried by voice vote after discussion about an upcoming bank-account change and the need to keep funds available while checks clear during the transition to a Reliant account.
Council members were told the town is changing bank accounts and that some funds will remain in the current accounts until checks clear, a process the mayor estimated would take about 30 days. The council then proceeded to the budget presentation, agreed to post the proposed 2026 budget publicly for 30 days, and scheduled a public hearing for Dec. 11 at 6:30 p.m., with the council to vote on the budget immediately following the hearing.
The meeting closed after a motion to adjourn was moved and seconded by Speaker 2.
