Trustees hear motion to approve 2026 budget with $18,200 wastewater cut
Summary
At the meeting trustees moved to approve the proposed 2026 budget with a proposed reduction of at least $18,200 in wastewater spending; a second was recorded but the transcript does not include a formal roll-call tally or final outcome.
Trustees opened discussion of the proposed 2026 budget after the financial report. Speaker 4 asked for a motion; Speaker 3 moved to accept the proposed budget “but with a reduction of at least $18,200 on the wastewater side and whatever else you can find at your discretion,” and Speaker 5 seconded. "I'd like to make a motion to accept the proposed budget, but with a reduction of at least $18,200 on the wastewater side," Speaker 3 said. "I'll second that," Speaker 5 added.
The motion was called for a vote but the transcript does not record a roll-call tally or an explicit outcome. Speaker 3 asked staff to report back at the next meeting with what additional savings were found; the motion therefore appears to set an instruction for staff to implement or identify the stated reductions and report back.
The exchange did not include amendments or a recorded vote breakdown in the transcript. The board scheduled its next meeting for Wednesday, January 14 at 06:00; Speaker 3 and others said staff should present a fact-based accounting of the proposed cuts and any operational impacts at that following meeting.
The record available in the transcript does not indicate whether the motion was finally adopted today or whether a formal vote was completed; minutes or a meeting sign-in sheet may record a formal tally.
