Summary
The board approved an amendment to increase the general fund by $78,978.48 and passed a resolution authorizing temporary appropriations for fiscal year 2026 to allow operations through the first quarter; the board also halted most 2025 spending except payroll.
The Brimfield Board of Trustees approved temporary appropriations for 2026 and amended the general fund to ensure the township can operate into the first quarter. On a motion and roll call vote, trustees recorded 'Yes' from Sue and Nick and carried an amendment to increase the general fund by $78,978.48 to meet the budget maximum. The board then approved a resolution authorizing provisional temporary appropriations for fiscal year 2026.
The fiscal officer told trustees the temporary appropriations reflect carryover amounts and that revenue adjustments will be made later in 2026. The board also agreed to cut off non-payroll spending for 2025; staff were instructed to hold invoices until 2026 except for payroll obligations.
No trustee opposed the appropriations motions during the meeting. The board will revisit permanent appropriations and revenue estimates during the 2026 budget process.
