The Orrville City Council voted to place Resolution 20-26, the proposed 2027 city budget, on first reading. The packet shows $77.6 million in proposed expenditures, a $5.8 million reduction linked to changes in capital projects; final appropriations will occur in March.
The Orrville City Council on June 15 placed Resolution 20-26, the proposed 2027 city budget, on first reading, with councilmember Mace moving the item and Davies seconding. The motion carried by voice vote (tally not specified).
Council received a 2027 budget overview in the meeting packet. The overview states that approval of the budget ordinance on first reading does not authorize expenditures; final appropriations are set to occur in March when the council considers the appropriation ordinance.
Key figures in the packet include total proposed expenditures of $77.6 million, a decrease of $5.8 million compared with 2026 attributed primarily to changes in capital projects. The general fund proposed expenditures are listed at $9.7 million; other tax-supported funds are $8.2 million. City-side capital projects are listed at $2.5 million. For utilities, the packet reports electric at $49.0 million, water at $6.4 million and wastewater at $4.3 million, with utility capital projects totaling $13.7 million.
Council members did not take final action to adopt the budget; the packet notes the budget must go through three full readings before final consideration. Mace moved to place the resolution on first reading; Davies seconded and the motion was approved by vote.
The council will need a quorum at future readings to advance the ordinance toward final adoption.
