Lewisburg council approves FY2026-27 General Fund and Coal Severance budgets
Summary
Council approved the FY2026-27 General Fund and Coal Severance Fund budgets and noted capital items including downtown parking signs and cameras, a new HVAC for City Hall, park improvements and completion of the Dorie Miller dog park; vote was 5–0 with one absence.
City Manager Misty Hill presented the city's FY2026-27 General Fund and Coal Severance budgets at the March 17 meeting and Council voted to approve both. Councilmember Franklin Johnson moved (by Finance recommendation) to adopt the General Fund budget, which includes payroll adjustments, capital outlays for downtown parking signs and cameras, a replacement HVAC for City Hall, and parks improvements including completion of the Dorie Miller dog park; the motion passed with five in favor and one absence.
Separately, the Finance Committee recommended approval of the Coal Severance Fund budget for FY2027 and Council approved that recommendation with the same vote pattern. Council discussion referenced a mix of across-the-board and individual payroll increases to improve competitiveness; specific dollar totals for each department were discussed in packet materials but not read into the minutes at the meeting.
