Britton council adopts proposed 2026–27 budget

The Village of Britton Council on Feb. 10 voted 5-0 to adopt its proposed 2026–2027 budget after a motion from Trustee Frayer, supported by Trustee Hurst.

The vote came during new business after the budget, which had been emailed to council members in January, was presented "as proposed." Trustee Frayer moved to accept the proposed budget and Trustee Hurst seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The meeting record shows no public comment on the budget during the session.

The adoption follows routine approval of the consent docket earlier in the meeting. Trustee Frayer moved and Trustee Skee supported the consent-docket motion, which included minutes, bills and transfers, departmental reports and planning commission items; that motion also carried unanimously, 5-0.

Clerk and administrative notes recorded during the meeting said the clerk had not received bank routing information needed to issue council payments; the clerk set a deadline of Feb. 20, 2026 to receive the routing details. The transcript does not specify the consequences if routing information is not provided or the source of funds for any urgent payments.

The council adjourned at 8:26 p.m.
