Duncan council accepts $16.94 million tentative FY 2026 budget; sets June 12 for final action
Summary
The Duncan Common Council on May 7 accepted a tentative FY 2026 budget of $16,941,629, including a $4,000 library fund increase. The council approved the consent agenda and set a June 12 meeting to adopt the final budget and property tax levy.
The Duncan Common Council voted unanimously May 7 to accept a tentative FY 2026 budget of $16,941,629.
Mayor Blake moved to accept the tentative budget “as presented,” and Council Member Wearne seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The tentative budget action included an increase to the library fund to $4,000, according to the motion recorded at the meeting.
Why it matters: adopting a tentative budget is the council’s procedural step that schedules a final adoption vote and establishes the broad funding levels for the coming fiscal year. The council listed adoption of the final FY 2026 budget, action on a property tax levy and a decision on the town garbage rate as items for its next meeting on June 12, 2025.
Other procedural actions: earlier in the meeting the council approved the consent agenda, which included approval of the April 10 regular meeting minutes and the April 2025 financial reports. Mayor Blake moved the consent agenda; Council Member Wearne seconded and the motion was approved unanimously.
What to watch next: the council will consider final adoption of the FY 2026 budget and the property tax levy at the June 12 meeting; the record shows the town intends to proceed to final votes rather than amend spending levels at this session.
The meeting adjourned at 5:00 p.m.
