Belleville council opens and quickly closes public hearing on proposed 2026–27 budget
Summary
The City of Belleville opened a public hearing on the proposed fiscal 2026–27 budget on April 6, 2026, but heard no public comments; the mayor said the budget will return to the finance committee before returning to council for a vote April 20.
The City of Belleville council opened a public hearing at 7:02 p.m. on April 6 on the proposed fiscal year 2026–27 budget, which would run May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, and announced the document had been available on the city website and at the clerk's office.
Mayor (presiding) said the budget went to the finance committee in March and will return to finance the following Tuesday before the council takes a formal vote on April 20. Members of the public were invited to speak for three minutes; no one offered comments and the mayor closed the hearing at 7:03 p.m.
The quick exchange left substantive budget debate to the scheduled finance review next week. Council members and staff noted the timeline for the ordinance vote remains April 20 after the finance committee meeting. Any public comments submitted in writing or at the April 20 meeting will be part of the record before the council votes.
