Brownsburg council approves two year‑start budget resolutions to move 2025 appropriations into 2026
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2026-1 (intra-2025 transfers) and Resolution 2026-2 (carrying encumbered 2025 appropriations into 2026). Finance staff read a figure into the record of $11,000,146,270.87 to be carried into 2026; the council approved both resolutions by voice vote.
At the Jan. 8 Town of Brownsburg council meeting, the council approved two routine, year‑start budget resolutions that move leftover appropriations and encumbered 2025 amounts into the 2026 budget year.
Hannah Hathaway presented the first item, Resolution 2026-1, describing it as a standard beginning‑of‑year transaction requesting authority to transfer leftover appropriations to cover lines with negative balances. After a motion and second, the council approved the resolution by voice vote.
Hannah Hathaway then presented Resolution 2026-2, a request to carry encumbered 2025 appropriations into budget year 2026. During her presentation she read a figure into the record as "$11,000,146,270.87" to be brought from 2025 expenditures into 2026. The council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote.
The transcript records the dollar figure read aloud; the number is unusually large relative to typical municipal figures for a town this size and should be verified against the town’s official financial records or meeting minutes for confirmation. The council did not take additional public comment on these items.
