Boyce council adopts FY26 budget and approves 1% tax-rate reduction
Summary
The Boyce Town Council on June 3 approved the FY26 budget and capital improvement plan and adopted a tax-reduction resolution described in the agenda as a 1% decrease; both measures passed unanimously 6-0. The meeting included no public comments on the hearings.
The Boyce Town Council approved the town’s fiscal year 2026 budget and capital improvement program and adopted a tax-reduction resolution at its June 3 meeting.
The decisions followed public hearings that drew no speakers. Mayor Zack Hudson opened the hearings, which the record shows closed without comment. After routine roll call and procedural business, Councilmember Berkeley Reynolds moved to approve the FY26 budget and CIP “as outlined,” and Councilmember Carol Coffelt seconded; the motion passed 6-0. Councilmember Carol Coffelt then moved to approve the tax-reduction resolution (described on the agenda as a 1% decrease), seconded by Councilmember Floyd Hudson; that motion also passed 6-0.
The council’s public-hearing notices were on the agenda; the transcript records no figures for the overall budget total. The meeting record does show that the council placed these items on the active agenda and voted to adopt them in the same session. The transcript does not specify how the 1% reduction affects the town’s millage rate in numeric terms.
Votes at a glance - Approval of May 1, 2025 minutes: motion by Floyd Hudson, seconded by Carol Coffelt; recorded as passed 5-0 (transcript vote tally: 5-0). Note: roll call lists six people present earlier in the meeting, which the transcript does not reconcile. - FY26 budget and CIP approval: motion by Berkeley Reynolds, seconded by Carol Coffelt; passed 6-0. - Tax-reduction resolution (agenda listed a 1% decrease): motion by Carol Coffelt, seconded by Floyd Hudson; passed 6-0.
Why it matters: The budget and tax-resolution votes set local spending priorities and the town’s near-term tax burden for residents and businesses. The record shows the council adopted the measures after the required hearings; however, the transcript does not include the budget total or the exact change to the millage rate, so those numerical details remain not specified.
What’s next: Staff will implement the FY26 budget and the tax resolution as adopted. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for July 1, 2025.
