North Brentwood holds second reading and public hearing on proposed FY2027 $1.28M budget; final action set for June 1
Summary
Town treasurer read the FY2027 proposed budget line-by-line: total revenues and expenditures $1,280,774 (zero-based); the council opened a public hearing that recorded no speakers and scheduled final balancing and approval for the June 1 meeting.
Town Treasurer Dorothy Washington presented the town's proposed FY2027 budget in a detailed, line-by-line second reading at the May 18 North Brentwood council meeting. The document totaled $1,280,774 in revenues and expenditures, producing a zero-based budget.
Major revenue and grant lines listed during the reading included:
- Speed-camera gross revenue: $300,000 - Department of Housing, Community Development senior-housing grant: $200,000 - Community Development Block Grant (Allison Street): $85,000 - Property and income tax projections totaling $575,526
Major expenditures and allocations read into the record included highway/street and stormwater maintenance, speed-camera administrative costs ($121,500) and staffing lines (town manager, public works, code enforcement). The treasurer read donation allocations and town-sponsored services, including $35,000 for a share network and $2,500 for North Brentwood Day.
Mayor Robinson opened a public hearing on the proposed budget, which the council then closed after hearing no public speakers. The mayor said the council will "balance our fiscal year 26 budget" and approve the FY2027 budget at the June 1 meeting; he asked residents to use the town newsletter and channels for any comments or questions before that date.
The treasurer characterized the proposal as a conservative, zero-based document that preserves current programs (including the share program that serves about 100 people) and includes no general salary increases. Council members and staff asked for community outreach on the budget and said the town would publish details for resident review.
The public record in the meeting transcript shows the formal reading and public-hearing process was completed; the transcript records the reading and the clerk's summary but does not include a final recorded adoption vote on May 18. The June 1 meeting is scheduled to include final budget action.
