Byron council approves first reading of 2026 budget, schedules working meeting
Summary
The Byron Town Council approved the first reading of Budget Ordinance 2026-1 and scheduled a working meeting for May 26, 2026 to refine figures before a second and final reading.
The Byron Town Council approved the first reading of Budget Ordinance 2026-1 during its regular meeting on May 12, 2026. Councilwoman Karma Sanders moved to approve the first reading and Councilman Shae Abraham seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Clerk/Treasurer Nicole Hunter explained the recommended timeline: the council will hold a working meeting to review details, perform a second reading at the next regular council meeting, and conduct a final reading at a special meeting before adopting the budget. The council set a working meeting for May 26, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
Mayor Allan Clark said the readings and the special meeting process are intended to allow staff and council to finalize line items and provide time to address outstanding questions. The council did not set a final adoption date at the May 12 meeting.
The first-reading vote advances the process but does not authorize budget expenditures beyond those already in force; final adoption requires the second and third readings specified under local procedure.
