Coffee City mayor kicks off 2025–26 budget work, requests small-group reviews
Summary
Mayor Marquis Castleberry told the council May 12 that it is "time to start working on the budget," and asked that staff and council schedule small-group meetings to review numbers prepared by City Secretary Mary McDonald ahead of the 2025–26 budget process.
Mayor Marquis Castleberry opened the Coffee City Council meeting May 12 by urging council members to begin work on the 2025–26 city budget. "It was time to start working on the budget," Castleberry said, and asked Mary McDonald, the city secretary, to assemble figures and to schedule one-on-one or small-group review sessions with council members.
The request signals the start of the city's annual budget cycle. McDonald told the council she was preparing numbers; Castleberry asked council members to find dates and times for follow-up budget meetings. No formal budget document was presented or adopted at the meeting; the mayor framed the discussion as scheduling and information-gathering rather than policy decisions.
