The Early City Council held a public hearing on April 21, 2026, to receive comment on the proposed fiscal year 2026-27 annual budget but recorded no public attendance. The hearing notice was published in the Chronicle on April 9, 2026, and the meeting opened at 6:00 p.m.
Council member Cory Tiefenthaler moved to adjourn; Council member Xavier Delao seconded the motion. The meeting record states "All ayes," and the council adjourned at 6:10 p.m. Present at roll call were Council members Christine Madden, Xavier Delao and Cory Tiefenthaler. Council members Brian Pickhinke and Brandon Scadden were listed as absent.
The meeting transcript includes a signature block naming Clerk Julia Drost and Mayor William Cougill but does not record any public comments, debate on the budget, or a vote to adopt the FY27 budget. The notice recited that any citizen of Early, Iowa or interested persons could appear to be heard for or against the proposed budget, but the record indicates no one did so.
Because the transcript contains only the hearing notice, roll call, a statement that no community members attended, and the adjournment motion, it does not show whether the council later took formal action to adopt the budget. The public record for subsequent council action or a separate adoption vote was not included in the meeting transcript provided.
The hearing record ends with signatures by Clerk Julia Drost and Mayor William Cougill.
