Lafayette holds rescheduled workshop as staff outline background for 2027 budget
Summary
Lafayette city staff presented background to inform the 2027 budget at a rescheduled July 29 workshop; councilors asked questions and suggested options. No formal budget votes were taken; a public hearing on the budget is set for Aug. 10, 2026.
On July 29, 2026, the Lafayette City Council convened a rescheduled budget workshop in City Council Chambers where Utility Superintendent Allan Fox and Clerk/Treasurer Cori Reinhart provided background material to frame preparations for the 2027 budget.
According to the minutes, "Budget background provided by Fox and Reinhart; Council questions and proposals; Council and staff discussions as part of 2027 budget planning." Councilors Dave Reed, Logan VanDeest and Andrew Hartley asked clarifying questions and proposed options for the draft budget, but the minutes do not record any formal votes on specific budget items.
Mayor Curt Tauber called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. The staff presentation aimed to give council members context for revenue and expenditure choices that will come before the city this fall as the budget process moves toward public hearings and adoption. The minutes summarize the segment as staff-provided background rather than a line-item presentation; specific dollar amounts and line-item proposals were not itemized in these minutes.
The workshop included an exchange of questions between councilors and staff; the minutes indicate discussion and proposals but do not list follow-up assignments or deadlines in detail. The council scheduled a public hearing and the regular meeting for Monday, Aug. 10, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., where budget matters are expected to receive additional consideration.
Attendance at the July 29 workshop was recorded as Mayor Curt Tauber; Councilors Dave Reed, Logan VanDeest and Andrew Hartley; Utility Superintendent Allan Fox; Clerk/Treasurer Cori Reinhart; and Utility Assistant Brennan Moldan. Councilor Tom Polich was absent.
