Boone City Council adopts fiscal year 2027 budget; one member records dissent
Summary
The Boone City Council passed a resolution to adopt the fiscal year 2027 budget after a public hearing with no public testimony; the roll call vote recorded at least one dissenting vote. Council also approved multiple related resolutions to set public hearings on CDBG and community development items.
The Boone City Council voted to adopt the fiscal year 2027 budget after a brief public hearing that produced no public testimony. Chair (speaker 2) moved resolution “34 99” to adopt the budget, which received a second and passed on a roll-call vote; one council member recorded a negative vote during the tally.
The adoption follows a public hearing during which the chair asked for written and oral comments and none were offered; the council then closed the hearing before moving to the adoption vote. Chair (speaker 2) opened the item and requested the required motion and roll call.
Why it matters: the adopted budget sets city spending priorities for the coming fiscal year and enables planned programs and capital projects discussed during the meeting, including water and wastewater work and community development initiatives.
Council members also approved resolutions setting public hearings for CDBG-related items and a community development and housing needs assessment to be heard on May 4, 2026, at 6 p.m. That calendar-setting vote followed staff requests to proceed with outreach and required public-notice steps for CDBG roof-rehabilitation and related grants.
Council discussion on the budget item was brief; no member offered extended debate during the recorded roll-call process. The vote was recorded by the clerk; Hammer was noted as voting no during the roll call for the adoption vote. The council adjourned the formal budget item and moved on to other agenda business.
