Sharpsburg council approves FY27 budget and tax rates in ordinance 26-01
Summary
The Sharpsburg Mayor and Council approved Ordinance 26-01 adopting a balanced FY27 budget of $662,081 and the town's tax rates after a public hearing; council also noted two budget categories exceeded projections due to park and capital repairs.
The Sharpsburg Mayor and Council voted June 8 to adopt Ordinance 26-01, approving a balanced fiscal year 2027 budget of $662,081 and the town's tax rates after a public hearing held immediately before the regular meeting.
Mayor Russell Weaver reported two categories had exceeded their budgeted amounts: the historic park project incurred an additional $51,771 in expenses, and Capital Outlay showed $48,696 in extra expenses tied to repairs to the Chapline Street culvert, an emergency replacement of the office computer and audio upgrades to the council room. Councilmember Robbie Waters moved to approve the FY27 budget as proposed; Councilmember Heather Waters seconded and the motion carried.
The adoption was presented as a balanced budget on the agenda and followed the public hearing; no roll-call vote tally was recorded in the minutes beyond the motion passing. The council did not attach conditions or amendments to the ordinance at the meeting.
Next procedural steps noted in the meeting minutes: the town will proceed under the adopted FY27 budget. Any future adjustments or supplemental appropriations would require a subsequent council action at a public meeting.
