Lewisburg Council defers final vote on FY2027 budget to June 30 to await utility numbers
Summary
The Lewisburg City Council on June 9 voted to defer second and final reading of ordinance 26-05, the FY2027 budget and tax rate, until a special meeting June 30 so utility budgets can be included in the final document.
The Lewisburg City Council voted on June 9 to defer final approval of the city's fiscal 2027 budget until a special meeting on June 30 to allow time to receive utility budgets that city staff must include in the state-submitted final document.
Councilman Robertson moved to defer the second and final reading of ordinance 26-05, and Councilman Thomas seconded. The motion notes the delay is to "allow the utility budgets to be received by the city treasurer which are to be included in the final budget document to be submitted by the state." On roll call the five council members voted in favor.
The deferral follows brief confusion at the dais over whether to defer the budget or an amendment related to it. Council members said the additional time will let staff incorporate utility figures and produce a complete final budget for state submission before the new fiscal year beginning July 1.
The council set a special call meeting for June 30, 2026, to take up the ordinance again. No tax-rate change or final appropriation was adopted at the June 9 meeting.
