Waynesville council adopts 2026 tax budget as emergency; appoints acting village manager
Summary
The Village of Waynesville council on June 16 adopted Resolution No. 2025-020 approving the 2026 tax budget as an emergency measure and voted to appoint Lt. Bledsoe as Acting Village Manager for June 23–30. Both motions passed on 5-0 roll calls.
Waynesville Mayor Earl Isaacs and the Village Council adopted the 2026 annual tax budget as an emergency measure during their June 16 meeting. Councilmember Connie Miller moved to adopt Resolution No. 2025-020 and Zack Gallagher seconded; the motion passed on a 5-0 roll call.
The minutes list the item in the legislation header as "Resolution No. 2025-020, A Resolution Approving the 2026 Annual Tax Budget for the Village of Waynesville," but the motion text in the minutes once refers to "Ordinance No. 2025-020." The council vote recorded in the minutes adopted the budget as an emergency; the minutes do not state the dollar totals or line-item changes in the tax budget.
Earlier in the meeting the council also approved a personnel motion. Mrs. Connie Miller moved to appoint Lt. Bledsoe as Acting Village Manager from June 23–30 while Chief Gary Copeland is out of town; Mr. Lyle Anthony seconded the motion and the roll call was 5 yeas.
Both measures were recorded as passed by unanimous roll-call votes. The minutes do not specify specific budget figures in the public record excerpt provided; the council did not take additional public comment on the tax budget at the hearing held immediately before the vote.
The meeting adjourned at 7:43 p.m.
