Council accepts tentative 2027 budget and sets June 1 public hearing at 5:30 p.m.

Orderville — Town staff presented a tentative 2027 budget with general-fund expenditures totaling $1,354,916. The presentation included line-item notes for public safety, streets and parks-and-recreation, and outlined planned capital and program spending. Council discussed priorities for streets and drainage and options for chip sealing and road repairs.

Brianna (staff) walked the council through revenue and expenditure assumptions. Council members asked for further detail on road-priority proposals and agreed the town should refine plans for critical drainage spots before committing large construction dollars. Following discussion, the council moved to accept the tentative budget and set a public hearing for June 1 at 5:30 p.m. so residents can review and comment in advance of final adoption before the July 1 deadline.

Staff will publish the tentative budget amount with the hearing notice and prepare a detailed budget packet for the June meeting.
