Finance Officer Darrell Baucom presented the Town of Unionville’s proposed fiscal year 2026–27 budget at a public hearing on June 15, reporting that “the proposed budget reflects total revenues and expenditures of $1,129,500, with $453,000 appropriated from the fund balance,” and directing the council to Tab 4 of the meeting packet.
Baucom highlighted several major expenditure items: a $500,000 placeholder for capital outlay designated for park improvements, projected payroll expenses of $125,000, and public safety expenses of about $127,000 that include a $60,000 annual contribution and roughly $67,000 representing a 15‑year commitment toward a new fire station. He said the budget was largely unchanged from the prior meeting and the property tax rate would remain at $0.02. No council members asked questions during the hearing. The public hearing was closed by Mayor Baucom with no formal action taken; the regular council meeting was scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.
