Lewiston council unanimously approves Fiscal Year 2027 budget
Summary
The Lewiston City Council voted unanimously June 16 to approve the Fiscal Year 2027 budget, approving line-item reallocations for theater repairs, a $1,000 safety-fair education allocation for the fire department, and new accounting lines for children’s theater, library grants, and cemetery needs.
The Lewiston City Council voted unanimously on June 16 to approve the city’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget, covering July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Mayor F. Bodily opened and closed a public hearing on the budget before the motion to adopt passed without objection.
The council approved several line-item adjustments described at the hearing. Mayor F. Bodily said funds were moved out of the theater budget to replace a failed ice machine and that those funds were reallocated to building expenses. The budget includes a $1,000 allocation under the fire department’s education line to support the city’s Safety Fair. New accounts were established for the Lewiston Children’s Theater under the Events Council and for CLEF and miscellaneous library grants; the council also created necessary cemetery accounts, according to the presentation.
Councilmember F. Bodily moved to approve the FY2027 budget and Councilmember Simper seconded the motion; the council voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously (voice vote; individual vote counts were not specified in the minutes). The public hearing had been opened and closed as part of the same meeting day’s proceedings.
The budget vote was the principal formal action taken at the meeting. The council did not record separate roll-call tallies in the minutes; the record states only that all were in favor. The council plans to review the Master Fee Schedule at a future meeting, where fee adjustments related to contracted services could be considered.
