Summary
The Vinton City Council approved the FY2026–27 annual budget and set the tax levy at $16.25 per $1,000 of assessed valuation; city staff will submit the adopted budget to the state by the April 30 deadline. The public hearing produced no public comments before the council voted to adopt the resolution.
The Vinton City Council on April 23 adopted the city’s annual budget for fiscal year 07/01/2026–06/30/2027 and set the tax levy at $16.25 per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
Melissa, who prepared the budget materials for the council, told members, “We’re setting the tax levy rate at $16.25 per thousand dollars evaluation,” and reminded the council that the adopted levy and budget must be submitted to the state by April 30.
Chair opened a public hearing on the budget and asked whether anyone from the public wished to speak; there were no comments and the hearing was closed. Chair then moved to adopt the resolution; the motion (moved by Tammy and seconded by Zach, as recorded in the meeting) was put to a roll call. Recorded responses included affirmative votes from Raker, Hassenious, Elwick, Permiter, Sellers and Stark Millhut.
The adopted budget covers municipal operations for the 12-month period beginning July 1, 2026. Melissa indicated the tax-levy number will be entered into the state system once council approval is final, fulfilling the April 30 filing requirement.
Next steps: the city staff will submit the approved budget and levy to the state as required. No amendments or objections were recorded during the hearing.
