West Union council approves Ordinance 2026-6 to set 2026 permanent appropriations by emergency vote
Summary
At a five-minute special meeting March 26, the West Union Village Council suspended the rules and adopted ORDINANCE 2026-6, the village's Permanent Appropriations for 2026, by roll call vote recorded as "all yea." The meeting also included a brief discussion about arranging a special audit for 2025.
The West Union Village Council approved ORDINANCE 2026-6, the village's Permanent Appropriations for 2026, during a special session March 26 after suspending the rules to allow emergency adoption.
The meeting began at 5:00 p.m. with Mayor Jason Buda presiding and a roll call that recorded Council members Rachael Hamilton, Ryan Myers, Chelsea Phelps and Donna Young as present; Jason Francis and Randy Brewer were absent. Fiscal Officer Melissa J. Hall and visitor Rebecca Myers were also listed as in attendance.
Clerk/agenda notes indicated the appropriation ordinance was at its second reading and required emergency approval to take effect immediately. Without discussion, Donna Young moved and Ryan Myers seconded a motion to suspend the rules; the roll call vote was recorded as "all yea" and the motion passed. Chelsea Phelps then moved and Rachael Hamilton seconded the motion to accept ORDINANCE 2026-6, Permanent Appropriations for 2026; that roll call vote was likewise recorded as "all yea," and the ordinance was adopted.
The ordinance sets the village's permanent spending limits for 2026. The council did not discuss line-item changes on the record during the special session; the transcript records only the motions and votes to enact the ordinance by emergency approval.
Shortly after the ordinance vote, council members discussed whether to pursue a special audit for 2025 (see separate item). At 5:04 p.m. Ryan Myers moved to adjourn, Donna Young seconded, and the meeting ended.
By roll call the meeting recorded the votes as "all yea" for the procedural suspension of rules and for adoption of ORDINANCE 2026-6; the transcript does not list individual vote-by-name at the motions beyond the roll call result.
