Council approves 2026 supplemental budget amendment for tourism and railroad crossing
Summary
The council approved Ordinance 2039-0226 amending the 2026 budget to add $80,500 to the tourism fund and $24,500 to the capital improvement fund to cover a railroad crossing removal project.
The Shelton City Council approved a supplemental amendment to the 2026 budget on March 17, adopting Ordinance 2039-0226.
Budget coordinator and grant administrator Hannah Murgleot presented the supplemental, which included two principal changes from the adopted 2026 budget: $80,500 added to the tourism fund to implement advisory committee recommendations, and $24,500 added to the capital improvement fund to cover costs associated with a railroad crossing removal project referenced under Resolution 1427-0126. The $24,500 figure updates an earlier request ($24,000) to ensure sufficient budget coverage.
Council moved and seconded the ordinance. The motion carried by voice vote; the transcript records “aye” and “motion carried” but no roll-call vote or named vote tallies.
Why it matters: The supplemental allocates modest additional resources to tourism programming and a local capital project that staff say needs slightly more funding to cover project costs. The council approved the amendment during the March 17 meeting so projects could proceed without delay.
What’s next: Staff will proceed with the railroad crossing removal procurement and tourism fund activities as outlined; no additional public action was recorded in the meeting minutes other than the ordinance adoption.
