Council adopts tentative FY 2026–27 budget of about $3 million and schedules public hearing
Summary
Treasurer Heather presented a tentative $3,000,000 budget; the council adopted the tentative budget for public notice and will hold a public hearing before final adoption. Members discussed beautification spending and timing for the budget process.
Treasurer Heather presented the town’s tentative fiscal-year 2026–27 budget — roughly $3,000,000 — and the council voted to adopt the tentative budget so the town can publish it for public review and hold the required hearing.
Heather explained the tentative total and noted line items and adjustments, including the addition of O'Ville and padding in some accounts to cover uncertain next-year expenditures. Council members asked for clarification on beautification funding and where specific items appear in the budget. The treasurer said the budget would be finalized after a public hearing and any amendments made at the council meeting that follows.
The council discussed timing and next steps: staff will publish the tentative budget, a public hearing will be scheduled, and the council will adopt a final budget at a later meeting. The council confirmed that some previously earmarked grant match money (for a pickleball project) will be reallocated because the grant was not awarded.
Council members voted to adopt the tentative budget and to move forward with the public hearing process.
