Michiana council adopts 2025–26 budget, approves year‑end amendments
Summary
The Village of Michiana council approved amendments to multiple departments and adopted the 2025–26 budget on June 13, voting 5–0 on final reading after discussing year‑end overages and water fund overruns.
The Village of Michiana council on June 13 approved amendments to the 2024–25 year‑end general fund and adopted the 2025–26 budget after a final reading and roll call vote.
Tim McCarthy, a council member, moved to amend several General Fund departments to cover an overage total of $52,660 and noted that the General Budget as a whole was under budget by $32,899 while the Water Budget was over by $36,976.54. The council voted to approve the amendment and then proceeded to the final reading of the 2025–26 budget.
At the final reading, Nancy Thill seconded McCarthy’s motion to adopt the 2025–26 budget. The council adopted the budget on a 5‑yes, 0‑nay vote. The council also recorded routine financial approvals earlier in the meeting: the treasurer’s report was approved and the clerk’s check register for $67,790.33 was accepted by motion.
The budget discussion included explicit dollar figures presented to the council but did not attach program‑level detail or a public schedule in the transcript. The Water Budget overage was recorded as $36,976.54. Council members said staff would continue work on pending projects tied to those funds and pursue required procurement steps where needed.
The council did not set a special follow‑up date on the record for water‑project procurements during the budget motions; Mike Mumper separately announced a water meeting with Merritt for June 20 to advance bid preparation.
The council adjourned after returning from a brief closed session later in the afternoon.
