East Missoula council adopts FY26–27 budget, raises meeting supplies line
Summary
The East Missoula Community Council approved its FY2026–27 budget May 12, including an increase to meeting-supplies to $500 to support hybrid meeting needs; the vote passed with all members present in favor.
The East Missoula Community Council voted May 12 to adopt its fiscal year 2026–27 community council budget, with one explicit change raising meeting-supplies to $500 to help improve hybrid meeting audio and related needs.
Chair (S1) moved to accept the FY26–27 budget and asked for a vote. Treasurer Stephanie (S3) confirmed she would "update supplies to 500 before I submit this," and the chair announced the budget "has been approved with everyone in favor." The motion was carried during the meeting without recorded dissent.
The treasurer noted the council currently carries only minimal outstanding expenses — a Zoom membership reimbursement and a PO box fee — and proposed the supplies increase to allow the council to contribute toward local sound-system upgrades. Council members discussed working with county staff (Tyler and JD) to determine compatible equipment and funding options. The council did not identify any additional budget lines affected by the change.
Next steps: Stephanie will update the budget form, submit it to the lands-and-communities office for posting, and the council will maintain the checking account while staff clarify reimbursement mechanics.
