South Lyon council adopts FY 2026–27 budget and approves millage rate
Summary
On May 26, 2026, the South Lyon City Council adopted the fiscal year 2026–27 millage rate and budget in separate roll‑call votes, advancing the city’s spending plan for the coming year and closing the public hearing with no public comment.
The South Lyon City Council voted unanimously on May 26 to approve the fiscal year 2026–27 millage rate and to adopt the city budget for the same period.
City Manager Baky presented the proposed budget, noting the document had been shared with council and discussed at prior meetings and a budget workshop on April 16. Council Member Hansen moved to approve the millage rate resolution; a roll‑call vote recorded all members in favor and the motion carried. Council then voted to adopt the budget resolution on a separate motion; staff said the budget had been adjusted through negotiation among department heads and reflected compromises necessary to balance priorities.
Why it matters: the adopted millage and budget set property tax rates and appropriate spending authority for city departments and capital projects through the next fiscal year. Council members thanked staff and department heads for the work required to finalize the document.
The vote: Council Member Hansen made the motion to adopt the millage rate resolution; a second was recorded. Deputy Clerk Piper conducted a roll‑call vote; the motion passed (all yes). Council Member Bogurt moved the budget resolution; after a second, the roll‑call vote approved the budget (all yes).
Next steps: staff will implement the adopted spending plan and proceed with budgeted projects. Any contract awards and purchases included in the budget will follow regular procurement and approval procedures.
