Summary
The London City Council voted to adopt Resolution 163-26, a 2.1-mill renewal for general operating expenses sponsored by Josh Peters, and will forward the measure to the county board of elections for placement on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot; final roll call recorded seven yes votes and one no.
The London City Council adopted Resolution 163-26 on a recorded roll call, advancing a 2.1-mill renewal for general operating expenses to the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot. The Clerk read the measure’s title and purpose, identifying Josh Peters as the sponsor and saying the question would be submitted to voters at the November election.
“The Clerk read: ‘A resolution declaring the necessity to proceed with a tax in excess of the 10 mil limitation for general operating expenses and to submit the question of the renewal tax to the electors at the November 3rd 2026 election,’” the Clerk read aloud during the meeting. The Chair later announced, “Resolution 1 63 dash 26 has been adopted.”
Council members moved to suspend the three‑reading rule to consider the resolution immediately; the suspension vote was taken by roll call and carried, allowing the council to proceed to a final vote the same evening. In the final roll call on adoption, the Clerk recorded the following responses: Councilman Hayes — Yes; Councilman Boyd — No; Councilman Eads — Yes; Councilwoman Jackman — Yes; Councilman Hitt — Yes; Councilwoman Treanor — Yes; Councilman Stahl — Yes. The Chair stated the resolution had been adopted.
By council action, the measure will be forwarded to the county board of elections to be placed on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot. The resolution is a renewal (2.1 mills) intended for general operating expenses; the transcript does not detail projected dollar revenues or how the funds will be allocated.
