Mayfield council adopts annexation ordinance and approves budget amendments
Summary
The Mayfield Town Council adopted Ordinance 2026-6 to annex property into town limits and approved amendments to the FY2026–27 budget, after a presentation showing the general fund balanced at $378,795 and a utility fund shortfall the council agreed to study.
The Mayfield Town Council on June 10 adopted Ordinance 2026-6 to annex certain real property into town limits and approved related budget amendments.
The council moved to adopt the annexation ordinance during the meeting; the member who made the motion stated, "I make a motion. We adopt ordinance number 20 26 dash 6 in ordinance annexing certain real property in the Mayfield Town and exchange the town boundaries." The motion was seconded and the council recorded affirmative votes and a subsequent roll-call required for annexation was completed.
The action followed a presentation of the town’s finances from staff member Amanda, who said, "the general fund is balanced, with 378,795 dollars," and explained the fiscal context: the town recorded roughly $491,000 in revenue and $541,000 in expenditures in fiscal 2026, driven principally by a $212,000 capital outlay for the SafePath Connect street project. Amanda said the town expected a grant reimbursement that would reduce the year-end deficit substantially.
Councilors also approved a set of budget resolutions to open and amend the fiscal-year budgets to account for those capital and public-safety costs. During discussion, a councilor noted liability concerns around one item but the council completed a roll-call vote on the amendments and the resolutions were recorded as adopted.
What the budgets mean: Amanda told the council the utility fund (which pays for water, irrigation and garbage services) is budgeted to receive about $247,308 in revenue against roughly $324,479 in expenses, producing an expected shortfall of about $45,000. The council directed staff to pursue a water-study and to invite Rural Water assistance to explore grant and savings options.
Next steps: Staff will follow up on expected grant reimbursements tied to the SafePath Connect project and pursue a water rate/utility study to address the projected shortfall. The annexation will be reflected in the town’s boundary records following administrative closeout.
