All right, the time is 545 on October the 7th, 2025. We'll call to order a special meeting of the Clarksville Town Council. One item under new business, which is ordinance 2025 BUD03 adopting the fiscal year of 2026 budget. Creating the operating budget for the town of Clarksville is a multi-step process. It begins with each department head reviewing historical budget data, looking at future plans for their departments, and working within the revenue boundaries placed on them by annual appropriations. This part of the process has been completed and the compiled information submitted through gateway, the state finance clearinghouse process. The town has been working with Reedy Financial Group to assist with financial planning and budgeting. Staff from Reedy Reedy have worked with the clerk treasure staff and the town manager to review the requests of the departments and the estimated revenues provided by the local government finance office for fiscal year 2026. The result is the proposed 2026 budget. A public hearing was held September 16th to give an opportunity for comment. One person spoke on the matter. The proposed fiscal 2026 general fund budget is 21,665,554. The proposed fiscal 2026 non-home rule funds, pensions, roads, streets, parks, building demolition, fire territory, and cumulative capital development funds totals 17,616,922. And for all home ruled funds, those that are not reviewed by the Department of Local Government Finance, the proposed budget is $14,988,748. It's recommended that the Council approve ordinance 2026, BUD 05, excuse me, 2025 BUDO3 adopting the fiscal year 2026 budget. Discussion. Discussion from Councilman Boiner. Yes, sir. Um manager Brady, you actually said for the 2026 non-homewed funds. You edited it in 22 when it's actually 17,616 or 616,992, not 92. Just a clarification. Okay, thank you. Do you need a motion? Motion on the floor. Motion from Councilman Boiner. Second. And a second from Councilman Stotz. All in favor, raise your right hand and say aye. Aye. Motion carries unanimously on the first reading. We'll have a second reading. Motion. Motion again from Councilman Boiner and a second from Councilman Stotz. All those in favor, raise your right hand and say aye. Aye. That motion carries unanimously on the second reading. The time is 5 48 p.m. and we will adjourn the special meeting. Sorry, order out of the board. Mr. Manager, where are we getting the 17616? Oh, that's just on just on those particular files. Oh, there it is. Yeah. It's done. We've been back going. Well, it's between my seat. Yeah. I know. But it's not only mine.
