Trustees debate FY2027 budget cuts; proposed Lions Club donation halved to $10,000
Summary
Lauterbach & Amen presented FY2027 budget adjustments that reduce travel and training budgets and propose cutting the town's annual Lions Club donation from $20,000 to $10,000. Trustee Corson objected, warning the cut could jeopardize Cortland Fest; the final FY27 budget will be voted April 27, 2026.
Finance presenter Julie Thomsen told trustees proposed FY2027 changes include reductions to travel and training line items and a recommendation to reduce the town donation to the Lions Club from $20,000 to $10,000. Trustee Corson expressed concern and said he would like to see more business recruitment to offset revenue losses from recent business departures.
Thomsen also reported that the final tax computation had been received and revenues updated; Trustee Olson asked about the status of TIF funds earmarked for the old school renovation. The board scheduled a final vote on the FY2027 budget for its April 27 meeting.
