Council receives FY2025 audit, sets April 20 public hearing for FY27 budget and adopts FY27 CIP
Summary
City auditors reported the FY2025 audit with no material issues, council set a public hearing for the FY27 budget and adopted the fiscal-year 2027 capital improvement plan after no public comments.
City auditors delivered the fiscal-year 2025 audit to the Boone City Council and said city staff cooperated fully; the council then set a public hearing on the FY27 budget and adopted the FY27 capital improvement plan.
Kevin Houston, the auditor, told the council everyone had a copy of the audit and said the state-auditor compliance work means "we spend a great deal of time doing that." He praised city staff for working with auditors to resolve issues during the year, noting the audit showed few remaining outstanding problems.
On the budget calendar, the council set a public hearing for April 20, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. to consider the FY27 budget. Later in the meeting councilors moved to adopt Resolution 3493, the FY27 capital improvement plan; there were no written or in-person public comments on the CIP and the resolution passed on roll call.
City administrator discussed a separate utilities matter: DAISY submitted a letter documenting wastewater expansion needs; SEH engineering reviewed the numbers and staff recommended authorizing the administrator to sign the letter on the city’s behalf. Council approved that authorization by roll call.
Why it matters: The audit affirms financial controls and the CIP and budget schedule guide city capital spending and policy choices for the coming fiscal year.
What’s next: The city will publish the FY27 budget materials ahead of the April 20 public hearing and staff will return the signed wastewater-capacity letter to DAISY per the council authorization.
