The Commissioners of Ridgely voted April 6 to keep the FY27 tax rate at its current level after discussion at the meeting. The minutes record a motion to maintain the existing rate and that the motion passed; the minutes do not record a roll-call tally or name a mover/second for that item.
Gerald Sutton, the town’s financial assistant, presented the Treasurer’s report and recommended adding itemized descriptions to bill approvals so the record is clearer; the board voted to approve the bills. The minutes list account balances as: general fund $297,750.43; sewer fund $18,434.12; water fund $27,425.45; ARPA $18,495.57.
The board also reviewed routine administrative items such as leases for Caroline North Little League and Caroline County Youth Soccer and accepted the Director of Operations’ written report for circulation. Clerk-Treasurer Stephanie L. Berkey recorded the meeting minutes and adjournment at 7:32 p.m.
Next steps: staff will continue routine budget monitoring and return with line items for future budget cycles; no tax change was adopted at this meeting.
