Woodstown adopts 2026 budget after amendment; CFO plans salary-ordinance revision
Summary
Council approved both a 2026 budget amendment (Resolution 2026-67) and the adoption of the 2026 budget (Resolution 2026-68) by unanimous roll call vote. CFO Stephen Labb described steps to reduce budget stress and said he will propose a revised salary ordinance at the next meeting.
Woodstown Borough Council approved two budget resolutions on June 23, 2026. Resolution 2026-67 amended the 2026 introduced budget; the motion was made by Councilwoman Heather Bobbitt and seconded by Bertha Hyman and passed by unanimous roll call. The council then adopted the 2026 budget on Resolution 2026-68 (motion by Bobbitt, second by Jaclyn Morris), also approved unanimously.
Chief Financial Officer Stephen Labb summarized the amendment and said he has options to alleviate strain on the budget; he told the council he plans to revise the salary ordinance and will present those changes at the next meeting. Labb also briefly asked the council for an update on filling the accounts‑payable position; council members agreed to follow up at a later date.
The minutes record the votes and the CFO’s plan for a salary-ordinance revision but do not include the amendment's line-item details. The budget adoption completes the borough’s formal budget process for 2026 until any further amendments are proposed.
