Boyce council OKs budget advertisement, tax‑rate notice and ARPA reimbursement resolution
Summary
The Boyce Town Council voted to advertise the proposed 2025–26 budget and a tax‑rate notice, approved FY25 budget transfers, and accepted an ARPA‑related resolution to reimburse completed infrastructure work under CSLFRF. Public hearings are set for June 3, 2025.
The Boyce Town Council on May 6 authorized advertisement of the proposed budget and a tax‑rate resolution and approved FY25 budget transfers, setting a public hearing on the budget for June 3, 2025.
Berkeley Reynolds moved to authorize publication of the proposed budget and notice of public hearings; Carol Coffelt seconded. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Carol Coffelt then moved to authorize advertisement of the Tax Rate Resolution as presented by the treasurer; Berkeley Reynolds seconded and the motion passed 6-0.
The council also approved FY25 budget transfers as outlined in the treasurer’s report by the same 6-0 margin. The treasurer’s report was provided to council members in advance; specific line‑item amounts for the transfers were not read into the public record and therefore are not specified in the transcript.
On ARPA funds, the council accepted a resolution authorizing the “policy‑directed use of a portion of the East Main Street project budget under the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) for reimbursement of completed infrastructure projects.” Carol Coffelt moved to accept the resolution and Berkeley Reynolds seconded. The motion passed 5-0; Floyd Hudson was present but did not vote. The transcript notes that Amanda (last name and title not specified in the record) was assigned to complete final closeout reporting in April 2026.
Why it matters: advertising the proposed budget and tax‑rate notice begins the public‑review process that will include hearings on June 3. The ARPA/CSLFRF action clarifies that a portion of previously completed East Main Street work will be reimbursed from federal recovery funds, which affects how the town’s capital and ARPA balances are accounted for going forward.
The council set a work session for May 27, 2025, at 6 PM and scheduled the next regular meeting for June 3, 2025, at 7 PM. No further schedule changes were announced at the meeting.
