Finance Director Nick Rousseau presented the Vernal City tentative Fiscal Year 2027 budget at a public hearing June 3, telling the council that "the proposed budget does not include a property tax increase or any other significant changes." State law requires the city to hold a public hearing on the tentative budget before adopting a final budget later in the month.
City Manager Quinn Bennion thanked Rousseau for preparing his first municipal budget and described staff's conservative fiscal approach, noting that the proposed budget includes a reduction of 1.5 full-time equivalent positions as staff identified efficiencies. Bennion said staff worked to reflect council direction from prior budget work sessions.
Mayor Corey Foley opened the hearing and invited public comment; after no public comment was offered, "Seeing no further comments, Mayor Corey Foley closed the public hearing." The minutes do not record public testimony or detailed line-item changes; the council will consider adoption of the final budget at a later meeting.
