Pocomoke City opens public hearing on FY2027 budget; council to vote Monday
Summary
The Mayor and City Council held a public hearing on Resolution 2026 R-14 to adopt the FY2027 budget and scheduled a final vote for the council's Monday meeting after closing tonight's hearing. The reading cited the city charter's notice and adoption requirements.
Pocomoke City opened a public hearing June 18 on Resolution 2026 R-14, the proposed fiscal year 2027 budget, and closed the hearing with a vote on adoption scheduled for the council's Monday meeting.
A member of the council read the resolution's text aloud, citing section C‑49 of the city charter, which requires a public hearing and adoption before July 1. The council said it had met the charter's notice requirements and invited public comment before the adoption vote.
No formal adoption vote was taken at the June 18 meeting; council members said the Monday meeting will allow any additional public input to be considered before the council acts. The resolution as read contains estimates of anticipated revenues and proposed expenditures for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
Next steps: the Mayor and City Council will reconvene Monday to consider final adoption of Resolution 2026 R-14. The council asked staff to have any requested clarifications and documentation available at that meeting.
