Clarkson Valley adopts budget amendment and enacts new Code of Ordinances
Summary
On April 7 the Board of Aldermen approved Bill No. 0590 amending the fiscal 2025–26 budget and adopted Bill No. 0591 enacting a new Code of Ordinances; both measures passed by roll-call votes with two members absent.
The Clarkson Valley Board of Aldermen voted April 7 to adopt a midyear budget amendment and to enact a new Code of Ordinances.
City Administrator Megan Eldridge read Bill No. 0590 amending the fiscal year 2025–26 budget. After a second reading, the board approved the bill by roll-call vote: Yes — Jeff Schweig, Courtney Birkel, Lin Midyett and Tracy Nuelle; Absent — Andrew Low and Brock MacDonald. Mayor Sue McNamara declared Bill No. 0590 passed.
The board then considered Bill No. 0591, described in the minutes as adopting and enacting a new Code of Ordinances for Clarkson Valley. Ms. Eldridge read the bill twice; after discussion about which laws would change under the new code, the board adopted Bill No. 0591 by roll-call vote: Yes — Courtney Birkel, Lin Midyett, Tracy Nuelle and Jeff Schweig; Absent — Andrew Low and Brock MacDonald. Mayor McNamara declared Bill No. 0591 passed.
Why it matters: Updating the city code consolidates local laws and sets the rules and penalties that govern residents and businesses; a fiscal-year budget amendment adjusts spending authority for the remainder of 2025–26. The minutes do not detail budget line changes or the specific ordinance text; both items were acted on by recorded roll-call votes.
What’s next: The enacted Code of Ordinances and the full budget amendment should be published with the city’s official ordinance and financial records; staff will implement any authorized spending changes through the city’s normal administrative process.
