Carrolton Village Council adopts emergency 2026 appropriation ordinance
Summary
On Jan. 12, 2026 the Carrolton Village Council unanimously approved O#2026-01, an emergency ordinance making appropriations for the 2026 fiscal year. Council read the ordinance as an emergency and voted 6-0 to adopt it.
The Carrolton Village Council on Jan. 12 adopted O#2026-01, an emergency appropriations ordinance for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2026. Mayor William Stoneman read the ordinance after council voted to treat it as an emergency, and the council approved it unanimously.
The ordinance was introduced and read as an emergency after Councilmember Parker moved to read O#2026-01 as an emergency and Councilmember Barto seconded. Mayor Stoneman read the ordinance aloud to the body. Councilmember Barto then moved to approve O#2026-01; Councilmember Butterfield seconded. A roll-call vote recorded six yes votes and the motion carried.
Why it matters: an appropriation ordinance sets spending authority for village operations and capital needs for the coming year; adopting it as an emergency makes the appropriations effective immediately rather than after the usual waiting period.
The meeting minutes do not specify line-item amounts or funding sources in the ordinance text; those details were not provided during the meeting and are therefore not reported here. The ordinance was approved and will take effect under the emergency declaration.
