Ridgway council adopts 2026 budget, appropriation resolutions and capital plans; mill levy effectively unchanged
Summary
The Town of Ridgway adopted its 2026 budget (Resolution 25-11), appropriations (25-12) and certified the property tax levy (25-13); council also approved five- and 10-year capital improvement plans in a set of unanimous votes.
The Town Council adopted the final fiscal 2026 budget and related appropriation resolutions after public hearings with no public comment. The council approved Resolution 25-11 adopting the FY2026 budget and Resolution 25-12 appropriating sums to the town's general, water and sewer funds. Councilors also certified the 2026 property tax levy under Resolution 25-13; staff explained the mill levy rate itself was effectively unchanged though assessed valuation numbers altered the town's total certified figure.
Treasurer Andrew summarized the budget process and materials attached to the resolutions. Council praised staff for conservative planning and noted the town's strong fiscal position compared with neighboring communities.
In a related action, council unanimously adopted the town's five- and 10-year capital improvement plans for 2026, which lay out prioritized projects for parks, utilities and municipal facilities and will guide future expenditure timing.
What happens next: Staff will publish adopted budget documents, file the certified mill levy with county authorities, and move forward with CIP project design and grant/budget sequencing.
