Blue Ridge council notes budget surplus, may call special hearing on millage
Summary
A council member said the city has a surplus and department heads are drafting next year’s budget; the council may hold a special called meeting to set the millage rate and complete budget hearings.
A council member told the Blue Ridge City Council that the city currently has a surplus and that staff and department heads are working on next year’s budget, including the millage rate. The member said the council may need to schedule a special called meeting for budget hearings if it cannot complete the work before the next regular meeting.
The comment said staff expect to have the matter taken care of by the next meeting if members can attend, effectively prompting the council to consider timing and member availability for any additional hearings. The speaker said the surplus could allow the city to add “a couple more roads” to planned paving projects.
There were no formal motions or votes recorded in the meeting transcript about the budget during the session. The mayor did not announce a date for any special meeting; council members were asked to coordinate schedules so staff can proceed with finalizing the budget and millage-rate recommendation.
