West Union council suspends rules and approves temporary 2026 appropriation
Summary
The West Union Village Council on Feb. 24 suspended rules and passed Ordinance 2026-3 to set temporary appropriations for 2026, voting unanimously (5–0) after a routine, no-discussion motion.
The West Union Village Council voted Feb. 24 to suspend the rules and adopt Ordinance 2026-3, a temporary appropriation to cover current expenses and other expenditures for the 2026 fiscal year.
The motion to suspend the rules was made by Donna Young and seconded by Ryan Myers; the subsequent motion to approve the ordinance was made by Chelsea Phelps and seconded by Ryan Myers. Both motions passed on roll call votes recorded as all yeas (5). At the time of the ordinance votes, Rachael Hamilton was recorded as absent but later arrived; there was no discussion recorded on the ordinance.
The ordinance provides temporary authority for the village to obligate funds pending adoption of a full year budget, a standard procedural step municipalities use at the start of a fiscal year to ensure continuity of operations. Council members did not request additional details during the meeting; the ordinance was passed as an emergency measure to make appropriations effective for the current fiscal needs.
The council moved on to other agenda items after the ordinance vote. The ordinance text and effective dates will be part of the village record once filed with the fiscal officer.
