Portageville aldermen review final draft of 2026–27 budget; agenda approved
Summary
The City of Portageville Board of Aldermen met April 20, 2026, reviewed the final draft of the fiscal-year 2026–27 departmental budget for May 1, 2026–April 30, 2027 and made no changes; the agenda was approved and the meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
The City of Portageville Board of Aldermen met Monday, April 20, 2026, at City Hall. Mayor Michael Cook Jr. called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m., and the council reviewed the final draft of the proposed fiscal-year 2026–27 departmental budget.
Alderman McCrate moved to approve the meeting agenda; Alderman Smith seconded. According to the minutes, the motion "unanimously carried." The minutes list Alderman McCrate, Alderman Faulk, Alderman Smith and Alderman Simmons and state that the City Clerk reported a quorum was present; the minutes do not separately record individual votes.
The council then reviewed the final draft of the proposed budget covering May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, for all departments. The minutes state that discussion followed and that no additional changes were made to the draft. The minutes do not record a formal vote to adopt the budget.
Alderman Simmons moved to adjourn; Alderman Smith seconded. The minutes state the motion "unanimously carried," and the meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
The minutes are signed by Rachel Wrather, City Clerk, and Michael Cook Jr., Mayor. The document contains a second-line signature spelling the clerk's name as "Rachel Whather," which appears to be a typographical inconsistency in the minutes. The minutes do not specify next steps or a scheduled date for formal budget adoption.
