The Clinton City Council put its Fiscal Year 2026 budget on file on Tuesday night at the Clinton City Council meeting.

City Clerk Kamren Willford read a prepared statement for Treasurer Clint Lichtenwalter - who could not make the meeting on Tuesday. The report indicates Clinton will dip into reserves for nearly three-quarters of a million dollars.

The report from Lichtenwalter notes another year of pensions that are well funded.

Warner Hospital CEO Paul Skowron presented the hospital's budget for the year. They are projecting a positive bottom line just short of $900,000. 

The City will vote on the new budget on May 6, when newly elected Mayor Helen Michelassi will be sworn in.

The Council on Tuesday night also had discussions surrounding code enforcement in the City. They also approved the collective bargaining agreement with the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters, Local No. 137, and $20,000 for server upgrades in the Police Department.
