Finance Director Alisha Anderson and Town Manager Eddie Holland presented the draft FY2026-27 budget to the Board of Commissioners on May 5. Anderson described the document as primarily operating with limited capital expenditures in the Water/Sewer Fund. "The draft budget is $12,559,685," the record shows; the presentation broke that into $9,025,880 for the General Fund and $3,533,805 for the Water/Sewer Fund, and reported a 5% overall increase from the prior year based on the millage rate of $0.41 per $100 valuation.
Commissioner Kristopher Hurley moved and Commissioner Andrew Palmer seconded a motion to call for a public hearing on the budget ordinance on June 2, 2026; the motion carried unanimously (5-0). Town staff said there are no proposed capital expenditures in the General Fund for the coming fiscal year and that the draft will be posted for public review ahead of the hearing. The record does not include detailed line-item changes; staff indicated the budget is based on last year's revenue averages and projected water/sewer needs.
Next steps: public notice and the June 2 public hearing where the board will consider the ordinance after public input and any adjustments required by policy or new information.
