Sabula Mayor and Council reach tentative alignment on FY26/27 budget, final vote set for April 28
Summary
At a April 7 work session, Mayor Curtis Johnson and the Sabula Mayor and Council reached a tentative alignment on the FY26/27 budget and set a public hearing for April 28, 2026, for final approval. No formal budget votes were taken at the session.
Mayor Curtis Johnson called a Sabula Mayor and Council work session to order at 5:00 p.m. on April 7, 2026, at Sabula City Hall to discuss the city’s FY26/27 budget planning. The minutes state the Mayor and Council reached a tentative alignment on the FY26/27 budget during the session and that final approval will be considered at a public hearing scheduled for April 28, 2026.
Councilmember Dave Ward moved to open the work session; Jeremy Diercks seconded and the motion carried with “all ayes,” formally beginning the discussion. According to the meeting record, no formal actions or votes on budget ordinances were made during the work session itself. The record lists those present as Mayor Curtis Johnson, Mike O’Hara, Dave Ward, Jeremy Diercks, Scott Hibbard and Erica Shoemaker; staff present included City Clerk Lynn Parker, Travis Woodhurst, Jack Mix and Brilee Deardorff.
The minutes summarize the substantive topic as “FY26/27 Budget Planning” and note only that a tentative alignment was reached. The record does not specify budget line items, proposed tax rates, departmental allocations, dollar amounts, or proposed changes; those details were not provided in the minutes and are therefore not specified here. The council completed the session at 7:40 p.m. after a motion by Dave Ward, seconded by Scott Hibbard, to adjourn passed unanimously.
Next steps: the council will consider final budget approval at the public hearing on April 28, 2026.
