Chair puts '26, 2027 fiscal budget to a voice vote and it is adopted
Summary
At a special Rural Retreat meeting called to order by the chair, the governing body adopted the '26, 2027 fiscal budget as presented after confirming a prior public hearing satisfied notice requirements; Reverend Jonas led an invocation before the vote.
The chair called a special meeting to order to consider adoption of the fiscal budget, saying the body needed to "meet and adopt a budget" and that a previous session had been a public hearing, satisfying the notice requirement. Reverend Jonas led the meeting in prayer and a brief salute to the flag before business began. "Heavenly father, lord, in Jesus' name, once again, we're thankful to you, lord, for this day," Reverend Jonas said.
After the invocation, the chair said the purpose of the meeting was to approve the budget and sought a motion to proceed. A brief procedural exchange followed about whether a motion had been made. The chair then asked for any discussion and, hearing none, put the question on "accepting the '26, 2027 fiscal budget as presented," directing members to "please signify by stating aye." Several participants responded "Aye," and the budget was adopted by voice vote.
The transcript does not record a named mover or seconder for the motion, nor does it provide a roll-call tally. The chair closed the brief session by thanking attendees and apologizing for taking their time; no further actions or next steps were recorded in the transcript.
The meeting addressed only the adoption of the budget and procedural confirmations; details about the budget's line items, total dollar amounts, or effective dates were not specified in the transcript.
