Wickenburg council approves $86.45 million final budget, updates purchasing policy
Summary
The Wickenburg Common Council unanimously approved Resolution 2397 adopting a $86,450,175 final budget for fiscal year 2026-27 and passed Ordinance 1250 to amend the town's purchasing policy; Finance Director Robert Martinez said the budget schedules were advertised for three weeks and no public comments were received.
The Wickenburg Common Council on June 1 voted 6-0 to approve Resolution 2397, adopting the town's final fiscal year 2026-27 budget of $86,450,175, and to pass Ordinance 1250 amending the town's purchasing policy.
Finance Director Robert Martinez told the council that budget schedules had been advertised in the Wickenburg Sun for three weeks this year instead of the usual two and offered to review the presentation that had been discussed during the regular meeting if councilmembers had questions. Councilmember Shawn Clark asked whether any public comments had been received; Martinez said he had not received any.
Vice Mayor Brian Jones moved to approve the budget and ordinance; Councilmember Margaret Nyberg seconded. The motion passed on a 6-0 vote with Mayor BG Bratcher, Vice Mayor Jones and Councilmembers Kristy Bedoian, Shawn Clark, Margaret Nyberg and Rebecca Rovey voting yes.
The ordinance amends the town's purchasing policy as listed on the meeting agenda as Ordinance 1250; the minutes do not specify the substance of the purchasing-policy changes. The council also noted the potential to discuss legal advice on agenda matters in executive session under Arizona law (A.R.S. ) but the minutes do not indicate that the council actually entered executive session.
The special meeting was called to order by Mayor BG Bratcher at 3:08 p.m. and adjourned after a motion by Councilmember Kristy Bedoian and a second by Councilmember Rebecca Rovey at approximately 5:58 p.m.
