Council reviews 2026–27 budget appropriations; staff stresses appropriations are not spending authorization
Summary
City presenter Mike Kern walked the council through proposed appropriations and salary adjustments for the 2026–27 fiscal year, emphasizing that appropriation sets accounting lines rather than authorizing expenditures.
City staff presenter Mike Kern explained the proposed 2026–27 appropriations to the Krebs City Council, outlining how the budget sets appropriation lines for expense accounts and noting that the appropriation is not, by itself, approval to spend. "This is not approval to spend money," Kern said while walking members through proposed salary and wage adjustments.
Council discussed payroll line items, including proposed salary adjustments and the allocation of half of one employee's pay between the city and the KUA. The council did not finalize the budget in this session and adjourned the item when the meeting recessed to the Krebs Utility Authority (KUA).
