The story
The Town of Alto Town Council held a public hearing on the 2026 budget on November 11, 2025, then voted to table the budget until December. It was tabled again at the December 9 meeting.
Through the first months of 2026, a Budget Amendment Resolution kept coming back to the council's agenda and kept being tabled, at the February 10, March 10 and April 14 meetings.
At the April 14, 2026 meeting, the council also tabled a 2026 Budget Proposal Resolution for a correction, but did approve a 2025 Budget Amendment Resolution.
