Summary
At a Dec. 3 budget workshop the Town Manager and Town Clerk reviewed the draft 2026 budget and five- and ten-year capital improvement plans, noting a projected decrease in sales-tax receipts and a council request to change the general fund budget.
The Ridgway Town Council reviewed the draft 2026 budget and the town's five- and ten-year capital improvement plans during a Dec. 3 budget workshop, where staff warned of a projected decrease in sales-tax receipts.
The Town Manager presented an overview of the budget adoption process and a financial summary of the draft budget, highlighting operational reserves, personnel and pay movements and revenue projections for 2026. Town Clerk/Treasurer Pam Kraft then reviewed the draft document, pointing council members to line-item locations for proposed expenditures and to the capital improvement plans.
