Kristy Clayton, finance director for the Canfield City Council, presented the proposed annual appropriation for the fiscal year ending 12/31/2026, saying, “The general fund is 39.4% of the total budget,” and placing the total at $16,752,419. She told council the police department accounts for the largest share of general fund expenses (69.15%) and outlined capital projects including street repaving ($500,000 per street) and a $450,000 design loan already approved for the Campbell waterline replacement.
Council members discussed timing and transparency; the manager noted some projects are grant‑funded and others will require loan approvals. The chair moved to dispense with the second reading and advance the appropriation ordinance; the motion was seconded and the roll-call/voice votes recorded on the record identified the ordinance as 26‑9, with council members answering in the affirmative on the record. The ordinance was advanced for adoption on the first reading.
