Onancock council adopts FY2026 budget, tax rates and five-year CIP
Summary
The Onancock Town Council unanimously approved the FY2026 budget, 2025 tax rates and 2026–2030 Capital Improvements Plan after prior public hearings and a special meeting to refine the draft.
On May 19 the Onancock Town Council adopted the FY2026 budget, the 2025 tax rates and the 2026–2030 Capital Improvements Plan following a multi-stage review process that included an initial presentation on March 24, a special meeting on April 14 and a public hearing on April 28.
Town Manager Matt Spuck summarized the budget process and adjustments. Councilmember Lisa Fiege read the resolution included in the council packet and moved for adoption; Councilmember Sarah Nock seconded the motion. The council approved the resolution by roll call, with each member voting aye.
Council did not identify additional line-item changes on the floor at the May 19 meeting. Members of the public had raised questions about several budget items during the public-comment period, including credit-card processing fees and funding priorities for volunteer emergency services; council responses to those items were not recorded in detail at the meeting minutes.
The council also discussed potential town involvement in funding repairs at the Historic Onancock School and agreed to continue exploring options at a future meeting. The appointment of Greg Temple to the Planning Commission was also approved at the meeting and is effective immediately.
