Monroe council adopts tentative 2026–27 budget, schedules public hearing for May 26
Summary
City Recorder Allison Leavitt described the 2026–27 budget as 'very tentative' and the council unanimously adopted the tentative budget and set a public hearing for May 26 to solicit public comment before final adoption in June.
City Recorder Allison Leavitt presented the proposed 2026–27 tentative budget at the Monroe City Council meeting on May 12 and asked for input from council and department heads before a public hearing.
Leavitt characterized the document as "very tentative," saying additional departmental review and public input were expected before final adoption. Councilmember Perry Payne moved to adopt the tentative budget for 2026–27; Councilmember Ryan Johnson seconded the motion and a roll-call vote recorded unanimous approval by Councilmembers Bagley, Barney, Johnson and Payne.
Leavitt recommended holding a public hearing on May 26 to receive public comment and to allow the council time to review the county's certified tax rate before final adoption. Councilmember Jason Bagley moved to hold the hearing during the regular May 26 meeting; the motion passed unanimously.
No line-item details or final tax rate were adopted at the meeting; those matters will be addressed at the public hearing and the subsequent meeting in June.
