Huntertown council adopts 2027 appropriations and tax‑rate ordinance; staff describes a $4.1M balanced budget

The town council adopted Ordinance 2026‑019, which sets Huntertown's appropriations and tax rates for the 2027 fiscal year.

Staff reminded the council that the item had been discussed during a recent special session and at the Sept. 8 public hearing; the advertised budget is approximately $4.1 million and staff said expected revenues of about $4.5 million make the budget balanced. Council members voted on the ordinance by roll call and the motion passed.

Staff asked council members to acknowledge their vote and sign the ordinance documents as required to finalize the record. The adoption completes the procedural step required for setting next year's appropriations and tax rates; staff will follow up on any administrative filings required by state law.
