Warrenton adopts $74.1M FY26'027 budget; city cites wastewater debt and GEO bond as drivers
Summary
The Warrenton City Commission adopted the fiscal-year 2026'027 budget with total appropriations of $74,149,335, citing increased appropriations for a GEO bond and anticipated wastewater treatment debt next year.
The Warrenton City Commission adopted the FY26'027 budget after staff presented total appropriations of $74,149,335 and explained that increases reflect upcoming GEO bond spending and anticipated debt for a wastewater treatment plant project.
The finance staff told the commission the budget committee had approved the packet presented; staff noted some of the increase was tied to debt and projected capital projects. After a public hearing with no speakers, the commission moved and adopted the budget by vote.
Commissioners asked for a midyear check-in on the Capital Improvement Program and for clearer communication about rate changes tied to utility funds. Finance staff said a midyear CIP review would be scheduled and that some rate changes would be explained on the city website to reach ratepayers who pay online.
