Summary
Council adopted the 2024–25 municipal budget Aug. 19 after a divided roll call; Mayor Ashley Faulkner cast the tie-breaking 'yes' vote to pass the budget.
The Hartshorne City Council approved the 2024–25 budget at its Aug. 19 meeting after a divided roll call that included two 'no' votes and two abstentions; Mayor Ashley Faulkner cast the tie-breaking 'yes' to secure adoption.
The motion to approve the budget was moved by Councilmember Gary Jackson and seconded by Jessica Hackler. Voting recorded in the minutes shows Councilmember Mark Roberts and Councilmember Jessica Hackler voting 'yes'; Councilmembers James Shaw and David Spears voting 'no'; and Paul Marean and Jerry Earp recorded as abstaining. The mayor exercised the tie-breaking vote in favor, and the motion passed.
The minutes do not attach the full budget document to the motion text in the minutes beyond the approval action; the council did not record line-item debate in detail during the roll call recorded in the minutes. Next procedural steps were not detailed beyond formal adoption during the meeting.
