The Village of Romeo: Board of Trustees "Budget" Meeting - June 23rd, 2026

The Village of Romeo Board of Trustees held a special budget meeting on June 23, 2026, which included public hearings on the proposed millage rates and the fiscal year 2026-2027 budget. A significant procurement discussion focused on approving a contract with HydroCorp for $90,864.86 to manage the village's backflow prevention and cross-connection program, ensuring compliance with state regulations. The board discussed the scope of HydroCorp's services, including inspections, ordinance writing, and notification processes, and debated the inclusion of vacuum breakers in the contract. The contract was approved with some dissent due to requests for a detailed cost breakdown. Additionally, the board approved the millage rates and the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) budget, with some members expressing concerns about prioritizing infrastructure improvements over decorative expenditures. The fiscal year budget resolution was also adopted following a roll call vote.
