The Bruton City Council voted to adopt the city's fiscal year 2026 budget, approving Resolution 25-11-24-1 after council members spoke in favor following an extended workshop.

Councilor Jennings praised the outreach and information provided in the workshop, saying the workshop helped the council "have a better understanding of where the money comes from and how it's" distributed. The mayor, who led the budget work, said he had reduced the proposal, adding, "I have been able to cut off almost a half $1,000,000 out of out of that budget and will continue to cut more if available."

The resolution was moved and seconded and carried on a council vote. Council members voted in favor and the resolution was recorded as approved. The mayor said transparency in the budget process and the recent workshop informed council members' support.

The budget adoption was presented as a culmination of recent workshops and review of revenue sources. Council members indicated appreciation for the clearer explanations provided in the extended session and for staff work in identifying savings and reductions in the draft budget.

The council did not specify in the meeting transcript a detailed line-item breakdown during the floor vote; the mayor and council indicated further adjustments could be made if additional savings become available. The budget resolution takes effect according to municipal procedures and the council will carry forward implementation through routine departmental and finance office actions.
