Murray trustees adopt 2026–27 budget as Ordinance #707

The Village of Murray Board of Trustees adopted Ordinance #707, the annual appropriation bill that sets the budget for fiscal year Oct. 1, 2026, through Sept. 30, 2027. Chairman Jeff Anderson introduced the ordinance by title, and Trustee Lea Bartlett moved to approve it on first reading by title and to suspend the required three statutory readings; Trustee Zach Schroeder seconded the motion, and the board voted aye: Blessing, Flak, Schroeder, Bartlett, Anderson.

On a subsequent motion by Trustee Bartlett, seconded by Trustee Stan Flak, the board adopted Ordinance #707 on third and final reading by title only and directed that the ordinance be posted and published. The minutes record the motion as carried with all five trustees voting in favor. The ordinance was described in the minutes as the annual appropriation bill to appropriate sums “for necessary expenses and liabilities” and to provide for pamphlet publication and an effective date.

The action follows the board’s regular meeting on Sept. 8, 2026, held at the Murray Municipal Building. No amendments or dissenting votes were recorded in the published minutes.
