The Monte Vista City Council voted unanimously on second and final reading to adopt Ordinance 9 34, the city’s annual appropriation ordinance establishing the 2026 budget.

City staff read the ordinance title and its summary and noted the budget covers the calendar year beginning Jan. 1, 2026. Council discussion focused on clarifying the ordinance language and confirming the public-notice and inspection period required before final adoption. Multiple council members indicated their support during the roll-call affirmations, and the motion carried.

The ordinance authorizes appropriation of funds by fund and confirms staff will publish the adopted budget as required by municipal code. Councilors thanked staff for their work drafting the document ahead of adoption.

Next steps: the ordinance is adopted and will be implemented for calendar year 2026; staff will publish the final budget documents and proceed with normal administrative actions tied to appropriation and spending limits.
