Councilor Conlon moves to table first reading of the proposed 2027 budget
Summary
After a public hearing on the proposed 2027 budget, Councilor Conlon moved to table the first reading, citing new figures presented by the administration; the transcript records the motion and a call for a hand vote but does not capture a clear result.
Councilor Conlon moved to table the first reading of the proposed 2027 budget after saying council members had been presented with new figures by the administration. "Move to table, I seek a 2nd," Councilor Conlon said during the meeting's deliberations.
Chair (speaker 1) called for members to indicate their votes by raising their hands. The transcript records the chair asking members "All those in favor... please raise your right hand," and then a subsequent motion to adjourn, but it does not contain a clear, documented final tally or a statement that the tabling motion was adopted or defeated. Because the record does not show an explicit outcome, the status of the tabling motion is not specified in this transcript.
The tabling motion followed public testimony on the budget and new figures supplied by the administration that Councilor Conlon said had arrived "in the last several hours." No amendment text or specific thresholds for tabling were recorded. The meeting proceeded to a motion to adjourn after the tabling request was raised.
The transcript does not show a subsequent schedule for reconsideration of the first reading or a definitive procedural outcome. The council is expected to address the first reading at a later date if and when it is rescheduled or taken up again.
