Covington holds first readings of fiscal-year budget ordinances
Summary
At the June 9 meeting commissioners heard titles of two ordinances: a 2025/2026 budget amendment and the proposed 2026/2027 appropriations. Both were presented for first reading; no final votes were recorded at the meeting.
At its June 9, 2026 meeting the Board of Commissioners of the City of Covington presented two budget ordinances for a first reading: an ordinance amending the City’s 2025/2026 budget to re-appropriate and re-apportion anticipated general fund and other fund revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, and an ordinance appropriating anticipated revenues for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2027, as reflected in the Recommended All Funds Operating Budget 2026/2027.
City Clerk Susan Ellis read the titles of both ordinances on the agenda. The minutes record the first reading of both ordinances; no final votes, amendments or detailed budget figures were recorded in the meeting minutes. The titles indicate the measures are procedural steps to align spending and appropriations with anticipated revenues and to present the recommended operating budget for fiscal year 2026/2027.
Because the agenda entry and minutes record only the first reading and the ordinance titles, specific appropriation amounts, revenue sources and proposed department-level changes are not specified in the meeting record. Further hearings, a second reading or formal adoption would be required for final approval under the city’s ordinance process.
