Councilmembers commend budget compromise; request light upgrades at Hollingsworth Field
Summary
After adopting the FY 2026-27 budget, councilmembers praised the compromise reached on the budget and Councilmember Paula Graszus asked to coordinate with the school to install lights at Hollingsworth Field for next spring. No funding or vote on the lighting was recorded in the minutes.
Councilmembers used brief remarks at the July 14 special meeting to signal unity after approving the fiscal-year budget. Meagan Guthrie said she believed Mayor Sarah Thompson made a good-faith effort to meet the council in the middle on the budget, and David Ziegler and Paula Graszus voiced appreciation for colleagues' work on the spending plan.
Separately, Graszus raised a request to work with the local school on lighting at Hollingsworth Field with the aim of having lights in place by next spring. The minutes record the request but do not show any allocation of funds or a formal vote on the project; follow-up and funding details were not specified.
