Charlotte’s City Council adopted the fiscal year 2026-27 budget and millage levies at its June 8 meeting and approved multiple ordinances and claims.
The council approved Resolution 2026-37 to adopt the FY2026-27 budget. During discussion members raised questions about a proposed $25,000 allocation for Charlotte Rising; councilmembers said any expenditure would require a separate contract and the item will return for future consideration. The motion to adopt the budget carried 6-0, with one member absent.
Council also completed second readings and adopted two ordinances: Construction Code Ordinance 2026-02 (Resolution 2026-34) and Administrative Appeals Board Ordinance 2026-03 (Resolution 2026-35). Both measures passed on recorded motions and carried 6-0 with one absent.
On claims and expenditures, the council approved a revised total after adding a previously unsubmitted $250 boiler inspection invoice to protect eligibility for a pending grant. The amended claims total approved was $252,358.14; the motion to approve claims was carried 6-0 with one absent.
What happens next: the Charlotte Rising allocation will return for a separate contractual approval if council decides to fund it; staff will proceed with standard ordinance implementation steps for the adopted code and appeals board ordinances.
