The Orrville City Council adopted Resolution 4-26 on March 16, 2026, approving the city's 2026 appropriations totaling $83.4 million to fund municipal operations through Dec. 31, 2026. Finance Director Strimlan told council the package includes $9.4 million for the general fund, roughly $13 million for other tax-supported funds and approximately $61 million for the city's utilities.
Council President Paul Vance called the item on final reading and Council member Squirrell moved for adoption; Council member Lax seconded. The motion carried by voice vote with "ayes all," and the resolution was declared adopted as an emergency to meet the county auditor's filing deadline.
The appropriations legislation advances the city's budgetary authority for operating and capital needs through 2026. Finance Director Strimlan said the ordinance was reviewed in a March 9 council workshop before final reading. The legislation text and supporting documents were placed on the council docket for the meeting.
Next steps: the adopted appropriation ordinance will be processed to satisfy statutory filing requirements with the county auditor; council will consider specific departmental and capital requests in later agenda items as needed.
